SDL #6

Open scalarwaves opened 6 years ago

Seems like many trackers these days use SDL, the good ones anyway. Pros? Cons? I know their cross platform footprint is huge, and the language is very concise.

SDL2 can output to JACK via SDL_AUDIODRIVER=jack (provided that you output to 32-bit floating point), which is a big thing for pro (latency constrained) audio.

Nice! The number of projects that work with JACK is crazy, so this is definitely a path worth pursuing. As a tracker playing older mods, I would probably find a way to run playback in 16-bit and resample it to 32-bit.
