Wow, thanks a lot everyone. I'm certainly going to check out JACK, but is GTK+ flexible enough (can you make your own buttons and stuff) Actually, don't answer that, that's just laziness on my part - Its just that I've noticed that the graphics sometimes take a back seat in the linux world :) ...

Me too! For me Jack has been confusing as I'm not sure in what process/thread my audio routine runs. Somebody here wrote Jack's interesting thing is that it can route audio through applications. I don't want that. I want that Jack takes my C function (or its compiled object) and executes that

The coolest thing about OSS for me was when I finally realized that all I had to do was open a file (/dev/dsp), read from it and write to it to capture sound and play it back. I made a stupid little 'feedback' application in about 10 lines of code. Figuring that out took a while. I just knew it

It sounds like Jack is a system to learn like on Windows/Mac. JACK is arguably simpler than either OSS or anything else. you don't configure any device parameters, you don't use system calls to move data around, etc. the minimal JACK client (which copies 1 channel's worth of data from its input
