Sound on linux tends to center around the "jack" sound architecture. This is a demon for connecting audio and midi gadgets as it were by jack-leads. From a brief look, it seems very callback oriented. It seems to be highly thought of by knowledgable audio types, and the bee's knees for low latency. It could be fun to figure out ways of writing jack-clients and plugins in Haskell. Would it be difficult, or stupid? Are callbacks to Haskell from C a problem? I suppose an interesting jackable component written in Haskell would of necessity something more midi than audio oriented. Peter Hancock
