It’s December 1 and I’m building software (again).

Do the words “Jack” and “PulseAudio” send shivers up your spine?

They should.

A software patch bay for connecting different audio sources to different devices and an audio server/client so complex that even the developers can’t sort it out sufficiently to produce usable documentation.

Yeah, that’s it, and I’m trying to get these things working across a 1gb network connection.

Well, I finally got Jack to build, install and execute without puking out a ton of warnings and errors. Now, PulseAudio3 is compiling behind this window.

I had it working a little bit but it was using the wrong interfaces and gobbling up all the bandwidth on the 100mb network; the network that everyone uses to access the Internet.

It’s installing now.

Will it work? I don’t know. If it does, I’ll post what I did to make it happen. If it doesn’t? Well, we’ll see.
