So would I - and I'm actively working on it. After spending about a year
planning, revising, and thinking, I've finally started coding an audio
compositing system based on a hierarchal tree structure. Right now, the
program simply replicates an on-disk directory structure in memory, and then
terminates, but I've only been working on the code for a couple of weeks -
and only 1 or 2 days per week. Now that I'm over some of the initial hurdles
(such as figuring out GNU auto-tools), I'll be introducing *basic* JACK
functionality over the next couple of days. FWIW, the sf.net project page is
at:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/tinara/
As I said, there isn't much there right now, but I'd be happy to set up a
mailing list if anyone is interested. If not, I'll certainly make an
announcement when I make an alpha release. If you take a browse through CVS,
be aware that my "scratchpad" lacks some very significant design ideas and
plans, including a potential GUI design which is currently documented only on
a dry-erase board ;)
