Re: [Alsa-user] ALSA, JACK, ASIO

[Brian L S. <br...@ga...>]

Thanks.  A couple more ASIO questions:

Could the ASIO protocol be implemented on top of ALSA or within JACK? 
Would it provide for low(er) latency operation on cards that support it?
Would ASIO perhaps just provide some parallel functionality that is
already represented in ALSA and/or JACK?

thanks,
brian
