Question about JOST I/O

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi,
i'm very impressed by JOST and i'd like to thank the whole team for the
extraordinary work.
I'm new into JOST and maybe this is a silly question:
When i run JOST i find at the start one I/O (2 audio channels, 1 MIDI). I
own a M-Audio Delta 1010 and i'd love to have the possibility of creating
as many I/O as my soundcard I/O can provide (8 analog, 2 digital) in order
to use JOST as 8 channels strips.
Is that possible?
I'd really love to use JOST as a live mixer or as multi channel outboard
for my studio.

Thank you

Giorgio

Hi Giorgio!
Well, I think that could be possible.
I have the same needs as yours: I usually play live electronics with lots of
microphones and at least 6 outputs (surround).
We just need to change some parts of the code.
Wait a few days, I'll do it for you if you can't.
Bye!
Domenico

Hi Domenico,
that's great news! I think that it would be great if the user could choose the 
number
of I/O at least when Jost is run under Jack.
Unfortunatly i'm just a sound engineer and i can't help with the code but i'm a 
good
tester! :P

Added command line options, by default JOST will have 2 ins and 2 outs. But if 
you
start it from the command line and pass to it:

--inputs N
  define the number of inputs

--outputs N
  define the number of outputs

--session FILENAME
  default session to open

you can start it with 4 ins and 8 outs like:

  jost --inputs 4 --outputs 8

hope this is enough

Hi kunitoki,
is this functionality limited to the number of ports my soundcard has available?
My card has 2 ins & 6 outs, but no matter what i pass to jost i always get 8 
outs & 4
ins (as shown by qjackctl). The number of ins and outs passed to jost are shown 
in
jost ui but are not available in jack (so i can't connect to them).

Another question - one this feature is implemented is it possible do do the 
same with
midi in? (Maybe i should file an separater issue for that)

PS: i'm running the svn head under linux. If you need more information just let 
me know.

Thanks in advance, 
bhoerdzn
