ALSA-plugins Torben's JACK patch

2010-11-27 Thread Robin Gareus
Hi *,

This might be rather sth. for pkg-alsa-devel - is anyone here subscribed
there? Does anyone here have a connection to ALSA-devs?

Torben Hohn has recently /greatly improved/ the JACK alsa-plug [1].
His patch only touches src/pcm_jack.c [2]. It has not yet been merged
upstream [3] but JACK users would really benefit from this.

For 64studio I'm thinking about rolling a small package that simply
diverts /usr/lib/alsa-lib/libasound_module_pcm_jack.so from
libasound2-plugins until things have settled down upstream.
That'd be a somewhat ugly solution but I still consider it less ugly
than branching alsa-plugins downstream.

Are any of you pro-audio packagers interested in helping out?

Cheers!
robin

Not that I'm aware of, but you never know.. ;-)

In any case, I'd suggest to file a wishlist bug against the alsa-plugins
package, so that the discussion is publicly archived at a more visible
place. In the end, the decision seems to me to the alsa-plugins
maintainers to make.

Cheers!
