Hello,
I am very interested in creating a home studio system with Linux. I get 1/4 the latency i do using Windows with the same hardware.. there is more control.. etc etc.. there are many reasons why I want to do this. I would especially like to use Cubase SX. The main barrier hampering this (besides copy protection ;) is the lack of ASIO support under Wine. Secondly, timing issues, but that is easy to tweak by the user.
I am wondering if there are any progects or plans to implement ASIO in Wine/WineX. If so, I would like to contribute. If not, I will have to go to university and study computer science as well as electronic music. ;)
Oh, yes - i know there are a lot of quality open source audio products (Audacity, Psycle, Csound, MAX/MSP come to mind...) I am mainly interested in seeing some VST implementation on Linux because VST is a very widely used and mature base for software synthesisers and effects. I'm told the only barrier to a NATIVE VST-capable app (Yes, the code is all there in the Audacity sources AFAIK) is the porting of a library known as libvstgui... why not run this through Winelib is the next thing i am going to ask the developers of that particular product :)
