As the gui is only used for configuring options, and not interaction while
the program is running (a restart is fine in this use case) I'm leaning to a
basic c/c++ daemon with osc i/o (udp, non blocking, brain dead easy to use
:) ) to communicate with a front end . . . which also lets me focus more on
fast tracking features into the backend, and at lease initially just putting
a hacky gui together, with very loose coupling between the 2. I know
sooperlooper and linuxsampler both support modes of operation like this. Any
dev's here implement a loosely decoupled frontend/backed like this before
and run into issues i with it?
