[Zynaddsubfx-user] ZynAddSubFX data on XML (libxml2)

[Paul N <zyn...@ya...>]

Hi.
I found some bugs into the binary data of zynaddsubfx instruments
(mas_zyn,bnk_zyn,etc.  files).
This (and some sugestion from others) made to think about switching to XML
format. I didn't programmed with XML, but I will study/start it.
So, I will tag the current version of zynaddsubfx in CVS .. and after this the
file format will be not compatible. The main reason is that I am going to
reorganise the data inside zynaddsubfx (especilly on Parts - to remove some
design issues - by breaking the Part into 3 smaller classes, like Part,
InstrumentKit and Instrument).
Anyway, after the reorganisation and switching XML, I will write a converter to
make possible to use the saved files.
The XML/reorganisation becomes a priority, and I will continue others after
this.

Please tell me some sugestions about it.
Paul.

P.S. I put the old jack output file back, to make possible to use jack while I
will put zynaddsubfx on xml. This is not RT-safe. 
But the RT-safe (but broken, for now) is avaliable if you set the
LINUX_AUDIOOUT to JACK_RT.
