Is there such a documented history already in existence on the web somewhere? (ie NOT a HOWTO) - that would be intelligible to non-audio professionals? Funny that. I started using Linux in the early 90s. I had no sound card at the time and did music on tape with one track with sync, giving me 7 audio tracks and 16 (well 32 if I wanted but 16 was enough to cover the few synths I had) tracks of midi. For that sequencing I used an Atari Mega. Sound cards were more than my small budget could afford and so I ignored OSS till I got one. I had just figgured OSS well enough to use a bit when ALSA showed up and so was annoyed that I had to figgure out a new audio server. However, my low memory, low speed mother boards of the time meant audio was more of a curiosity. By the time I got something I could actually do sound on (a P4 single core) Jack on top of alsa was the way to do things. All that to say, even though I have been using Linux from the roll your kernel monthly days, I can't really say much about audio history. -- Len Ovens www.ovenwerks.net ___ Linux-audio-dev mailing list Linux-audio-dev@lists.linuxaudio.org https://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-dev

Hi Phil, I sure enjoyed this keynote by Paul Davis of LAC 2017: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dk2AMwc4e2k There's also a history of JACK by FalkTX (Sonoj 2019) which includes more recent developments: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zpvkn8DOScI Looking forward to other recommendations as well!
