They +allow using an ALSA device as a Jack client, to provide additional +capture (a2j) or playback (j2a) channels. Functionally these are +equivalent to the alsa_in and alsa_out clients that come with JACK, +but they provide much better audio quality. The resampling ratio will +typically be stable within 1 PPM and change only very smoothly. Delay +will be stable as well even under worst case conditions, e.g. the JACK +client running near the end of the cycle. + +This package uses POSIX filesystem capabilities to execute with +elevated privileges (required for realtime audio processing). This +may be considered a security/stability risk. Please read +http://www.slackbuilds.org/caps/ for more information. To disable +capabilities, pass SETCAP=no to the script. |
