debian bug reports seems to lack a "this affects me too" link. I found the above disheartening. Every person who uses jackd has had a broken package since opus showed up and Celt was removed. In my opinion opus is broken for not using a boundary based on binary that the whole computing world uses. However, the standard has been set and we have to work with it. The way to work with it is to allow an opus library that allows non-standard usage. Low latency means different things to different people... for the MP3 crowd opus is really low latency... for people using it for performance it is just barely in the ball game. Adding buffering kills it for that use (one of opus advertised uses I might add). Really, the jackd developers know what they are talking about in this area, very few other people, including those of us who use it, do. I know from experience what it means, but the programing is beyond me... the last real time, low latency, project I did was a hardware midi filter where I just had to deal with one byte before the next arrived. either jackd has to include a fixed version of opus inside. (which means any other project with the same needs has to repeat the same work... what happened to the reusable concept?) or the shipped opus handles it... everyone wins. normally the newcomer is fixed not the software that has been here for years. To get the performance using opus as is, it seems to me every application that uses jackd would need to be updated to use odd frame sizes. However, just as with every other software area, there are a number of jackd applications that while in daily use, are not maintained. We would loose those as well. So here I am waiting for opus in jackd. This bug affects me too. This could be a fantastic tool for Broadcast Remote Content Transport. The only tools available now are all sip client to pulse to jack with the very noticeable delay that chain gives. -- Len Ovens www.OvenWerks.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
