sndio instead of jackd?
Hello,
I am in the process of replacing Debian (systemd drama) with OpenBSD (thinkpad compliant) as my new desktop OS. Besides flash and wine(+linux compat), I have been able to adapt myself. The FAQ, manpages plus pkg-readmes are really hepling. Now to my question: Lately, I learned about sndiod. I played a little with midish + midi-keyboard.+ midi files + fluidsynth.+ sndiod. Could sndiod be used as jackd in order to manually connect audio apps? Like fluidsynth to calf? Are we supposed to use jack separately, next to sndio? Thank you. |

Thank you Oko.
I saw a video of Alexandre Ratchov about sndio where he demonstrates some functionality: mainly midi-triggering and automation with midi controller (mix tables, faders) and midi files, syncing audios apps. The part I am more interested in is the jack functionnality: interconnect hardware and/or audio/midi applications. It is my understanding that sndio doesn't expose audio interfaces so it seems that it doesn't have the flexibility jack does. For now?... midish on the other hand, allows you to remap and redirect midi event. Btw, what is aucat? Is it sndio ancestor? Why is it still in the base system? As a newcomer, I am carefull not to rush to the mailing list. I will try to use OpenBSD more and more for all my needs and keep the real questions for the mailing lists. Bye. Edit: As for flash and wine, my plan is to keep a spare Debian laptop. |

Minimal server capability was added to aucat (audio stream manipulation tool, sndiod predecessor) in October 2008, thus shipped with OpenBSD 4.5. In December 2011, aucat was renamed to sndiod and later shipped with OpenBSD 5.1 as default sound server started at operating system boot. |
