GOT IT! I'd forgotten to change the code that registers the jack output ports; it was using the same name each time. So apparently my de-interleaving code was fine (though it's a bit more efficient now, thanks for the hint John.) Houston, we have stereo. --PW On Fri, Jun 14, 2002 at 01:31:39A

No, but this is the reason why most organ consoles have a mirror allowing the organist to watch the conductor and why in many cathedrals there is a separately located set of pipes for use with choral music (generally controlled by an upper manual, labelled "choir"). As long as the organist follows

Something's odd here... I'm trying to de-interleave the stereo output from sfront into discrete channel buffers suitable for jack. Everything's fine when number of channels = 1; but when it's 2, it seems that I get the left channel in both outputs. I've confirmed that the left and right outputs ar

In my experience, audible separation of acoustic events normally happens around 20ms (ignoring phase effects). Most instruments (including guitar) are entirely playable with this sort of delay. The pipe organ example is a good one - there is a huge variety of delay on pipe organs, probably beyond

Not really hype, they are slightly different issues. (I work with Barry and we discussed this issue earlier) Achieving system latencies down to 1 - 2 ms is good as it's an indication of the overall latency of the system. Typically a system can spike at a lot higher than the values you mention
