XML of course :) There are those who claim XML is bloat though ;) Nothing is more portable than xml though. Hell, we could be even using Jabber and save / recover state using our own XML based protocol across multiple machines... This could be made very versatile :) So we have: - audio interconnection -> JACK - control interconnection -> ? (alsa ?) - state saving protocol -> some XML based protocol Is this XML based protocol restricted to state accounting only or would it be used for control interconnection protocol too (like midi + some bracket bloat ;) ? regards vini
