JackMaster - "Master Console" for the jack-audio-connection-kit
Features:
- 100% pure C
- Low CPU usage
- Session management with LASH
- Fader automation with ALSA
- Number of inputs: unlimited
- Crosstalk: 0.000 dB
- Dynamics range: somewhere in the vicinity of 1529.23 dB
Bugs:
Minor shortcomings:
- When an active channel is rerouted, you might hear a click
- Ugly icon (at least, it is recognisable)
- Number of inputs/subs and screen layout can only be changed by recompiling
- Only stereo ports
- No aux-sends/returns yet
- No (LADSPA-)insert effects (yet)
Unpacking:
I'm using the rather unusual .cpio.7z-format. Cpio, because it is much less
wasteful than tar (especially with small files), and 7zip because of its awesome
compression-ratio. If your favorite archiver-GUI can't handle this (like KDE's Ark),
here's the command-line:
7z e -so dev_jackmaster-0.0.2.cpio.7z | cpio -i
or
7z e -so jackmaster-0.0.2.cpio.7z | cpio -i
Installation:
Just a simple
./autogen.sh (only if you have the "developer-version")
./configure
$EDITOR config.h
make
make install (as root, if you can't write in /usr/local)
The developer-version contains the same source as the user-version,
but without the autogenerated stuff from GNU libtool, autoconf and
automake. So if you don't have 'em installed and working, pick the
user-version.
In case of trouble, these were used during development:
gcc 3.4.6
gcc 4.1.2
libtool 1.5.22
autoconf 2.61
automake 1.7.9

Screenshots:
Default configuration (16 ins, 4 subs)
A rather minimalist configuration (4 ins, no meters, no solo buttons, no routing)
