I haven't got incoming timing is a solved problem. the problem is scheduling outgoing data, which requires an interrupt source of some kind. >a clue where this information comes from. It is in seconds, starting they almost certainly use either the sample clock of the audio interface interpolated/estimated using a DLL (Delay Locked Loop). >I'm pretty sure that if Cakewalk decided to port Home Studio >to Linux, they would be able to do it with no technical hurdles. >Its just that, for Music, most use Apple and cheapskates like >me use PCs running M$. Real cheapskates would use Linux with Rosegarden, Ardour et al :) --p
