A [Nim] wrapper for the [JACK] [C API]
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Project status
|
|
|
|
This software is in *alpha status* and has no official release yet.
|
|
|
|
The basic JACK APIs (client lifecycle, ports, callbacks) have been wrapped and
|
|
are functional (see [examples]), but MIDI, transport and meta-data APIs still
|
|
need wrapping. Also, symbol names may still be changed and things moved around
|
|
before the first public release.
|
|
|
|
Also, I plan to add a higher-level abstraction on top of the direct mapping
|
|
from Nim procs and types to C functions and types, probably in the form of
|
|
a JACK client object, which takes care of creating a JACK client instance,
|
|
registering ports and setting up all the callbacks necessary for a well-behaved
|
|
JACK application.
