The main problem is that we have no way to keep audio and MIDI in sync, neither there's a way to start multiple audio programs simultaneously. This means that we're stuck in using only one program at a time. jack tries to solve the problem, but aucat -- as some other apps -- can't work with it. imo, that's the most urgent problem to solve. -- Alexandre
