Check out: http://www.freshports.org/audio/jack/ The author of Jack on OSS, Jussi Laako (http://www.sonarnerd.net/projects/jack_oss.html) claims that Jack on OSS drivers (MAudio Delta44) has better latency and performance than Jack on the ALSA drivers. If you talk to the author of Jack, he would tell you not to program to ALSA (or OSS) APIs and use his API. Looks like if Jack is the hottest thing happening to audio on Linux then FreeBSD users already have access to Jack apps on FreeBSD. best regards Dev Mazumdar ----------------------------------------------------------- 4Front Technologies 4035 Lafayette Place, Unit F, Culver City, CA 90232, USA.
