Session
In the past, sound system was designed to handle the tasks only within a single monolithic software in a single computer. However, the demand of modern Multimedia system often requires sequencing a serial Multimedia events, beyond just the PCM wav data, which may also includes MIDI or lighting control signals together with video data , before the final remixing to the DA devices. It is also desired to be handled over several software for AP-AP interoperation, sometimes even over several computers on the network. This talk will first discuss those issues from Linux sound system's perspective and how relative technologies have been evolved in the past, following the introduction of using the latest PipeWire sound server framework to meet those demandings. Finally the intercoperation of networked computers of Linux sound system with non-Linux OSes will be introduced.
