Debian Multimedia Ladi packages

Main goal of this project is to ease usage of legacy, not JACK-ified apps, in a JACK MIDI enabled system. a2jmidid is a daemon that implements automatic bridging. For every ALSA sequencer port you get one JACK MIDI port. If ALSA sequencer port is both one input and one output, you get two JACK MIDI ports, one input and one output.

Das_Watchdog is a general watchdog for the Linux operating system that should be run in the background at all times to ensure a realtime process won't hang the machine.

Das_Watchdog is inspired by the rt_watchdog program from Florian Schmidt, but has some improvements over it:

• It works with 2.4 kernels as well as 2.6.
• Instead of permanently setting all realtime processes to run non-realtime, das_watchdog only sets them temporary.
• When the watchdog kicks in, an X window should pop up that tells you whats happening (just close it after reading the message).

JACK is a low-latency sound server, allowing multiple applications to connect to one audio device, and to share audio between themselves.

This dummy package depends on the current default JACK implementation.

LADI Session Handler or simply ladish is a session management system for JACK applications on GNU/Linux. Its aim is to allow you to have many different audio programs running at once, to save their setup, close them down and then easily reload the setup at some other time. ladish doesn't deal with any kind of audio or MIDI data itself; it just runs programs, deals with saving/loading (arbitrary) data and connects JACK ports together. It can also be used to move entire sessions between computers, or post sessions on the Internet for download.

LADI Tools is a set of tools aiming to achieve the goals of the LADI project to improve desktop integration and user workflow of Linux audio system based on JACK and ladish. Those tools take advantage of the D-Bus interfaces recently added to JACK and ladish to ease the configuration and use of those two great programs.

The following tools are included:

• g15ladi - a JACK monitor for g15 keyboards
• ladi-control-center - graphical configuration tool to setup JACK's configuration
• ladi-player - convenient VLC-style application to control JACK and manage studios
• ladi-system-log - JACK, ladish and a2jmidid log viewer
• ladi-system-tray - system indicator that allows users to start, stop and monitor JACK, as well as start some JACK related applications

This package includes basic set of tools to control and monitor the LADI system, that is JACK and ladish in a D-Bus environment.
