Jeff:
Thanks for your continued support and responses - I'll leave more of
the technical stuff to Stephane, but I feel compelled to comment on
this:
I don't see your situation all that different from what other hardware
developers are in when it comes to creating a GUI app that configures/
shows off the capabilities of their product. MotU has their little
config app. Metric Halo has theirs. Etcetera. Who better to write that
app but the folks that know their product the best?
kAudioDevicePropertyConfigurationApplication exists specifically to
allow folks to discover and launch these custom apps.
The Jack case is somewhat a bit different since its really a kind
of core feature of the audio layer.
Honestly it's not, but that doesn't make it any less cool or useful.
Without being disrespectful, I'd love for you to reconsider this.
Although historically perhaps, folks didn't envision
audio/midi/transport being seamlessly shuttled back and forth between
distinct applications, the fact is that nowadays people know this is
possible, and are excited by it and see new possibilities emerging
because of it. To me, as well as others that have contacted us off
list as a result of this thread, CoreAudio is the *best* place for
this kind of interapp "plumbing" to occur.
We 3rd parties will continue to give it our best effort, but there's
nothing that would make me happier than to see it embedded in the OS
at some point. Who knows, maybe Steve would even show it off on
stage one day!
Best,
Dan
