XML of course :)
There are those who claim XML is bloat though ;)
Nothing is more portable than xml though.
Hell, we could be even using Jabber and
save / recover state using our own XML based
protocol across multiple machines...
This could be made very versatile :)
So we have:
- audio interconnection -> JACK
- control interconnection -> ? (alsa ?)
- state saving protocol
-> some XML based protocol
Is this XML based protocol restricted
to state accounting only or would it
be used for control interconnection
protocol too (like midi + some bracket bloat ;) ?
