Resources

• UbuntuStudio/ControlsRedesign (outdated but shows direction)

Main purpose of ubuntustudio-controls:

• Administer multimedia specific system settings (audio privilege, performance tweaks)
• User Help (links to web pages at a minimum)
• Do system check at boot, and alert user if system is badly configured

Possible other purposes:

• Multimedia specific package management
• Integrated audio system control (pulseaudio, jack)
  • Ability to shut down PA
  • Read Sample Rate, Bit Rate, and Buffer Size, and display it

Design:

AppIndicator

On systems that support it, there will be a menu in the app-indicator area:

Features (ideas)

Audio

• administer user realtime privilege
• system check info (realtime, shared irqs, etc)
• jack control (a separate application)
  • auto-set optimal settings (analyze system)
  • start/stop

  • set device (persistent between boots, not based on hw:<n>)

  • set latency (slider) (descriptive, telling what this latency is suitable for)
  • set samplerate
  • advanced settings
    • jackd settings..
  • jack net stuff?
    • jack net stuff here
• zita-a2j (gui interface, to enable multiple audio devices)
  • this would be a part of jack control because jack needs to be running first
• a2jmidid so all applications have their midi ports show as jack midi ports
  • this is also dependent on jack running.
