Theoretically, yes. A jack timebase master is supposed to translate current absolute position to musical time. It's mainly useful for tempo-maps. Ableton Link does not provide an absolute reference, so the client would have to maintain an internal count depending on transport state, infer that information and keep track. Still jack-position is versatile enough to represent information provided by Link: http://jackaudio.org/files/docs/html/structjack__position__t.html The real question is if it's useful and how many jack-apps can cope with potentially non-linearity WRT to absolute jack transport sample time. ciao, robin _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-dev mailing list Linux-audio-dev@lists.linuxaudio.org http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-dev
