I have started writing my first jack application. It's a simple combination of the qfileiconview example and jack.play (is that a homage to ms?). Users of that OS might recognise the concept. It's a FastWav2 clone. It's very early days so this is untested but worked far so fine for me. I am not quite sure but you may need qmake to build it from source. Maybe someone has an automake/autoconf skeleton lying around?
This is from the homepage: http://mimo.gn.apc.org/index.php/quickwav ---- quickwav A simple sample browser and loop player for jack On windows I used to have a small program called FastWav2 to quickly browse through my samples' directories and drag and drop them into audio applications. quickwav does exactly the same. It uses a simple and quick navigation method. One thing that is still missing is variable playback speed. quickwav uses jack for playback. Similiar to DirectX jack allows for multiple programs to use the same audio output at the same time. Many instances of quickwav can be run at the same time and together with other Linux audio applications. There is a downside to this, though, getting jack to run in the first place can be a frustrating experience. A hint, wildly clicking around in qjackctl's options is known to help. Features Click & Play Drag & Drop Loops soundfiles Uses jack for output Allows running multiple instances libsndfile based QT3 user interface, works at least with QT and KDE applications Download Version 0.1 http://mimo.gn.apc.org/quickwav/quickwav-0.1.tar.gz The tarball contains source and binary version. It requires at least qt3, libsndfile, jack. ---- On Saturday 04 June 2005 14:43, mimo wrote: > After my initial problems with jack I must say I have come to like jack. > Especially together with muse.
