This can be the system's hardware + in- and outputs or other \gls{jack} clients. The selected input name is + added to the prefix to connect a \gls{ssr} source to a \gls{jack} + client output with that name. Following the configuration file example, + given a source input name of \mintinline{yaml}{1}, the \gls{ssr} would + connect to the \gls{jack} client port named + \mintinline{yaml}{alsa_pcm:capture_1}.\\ + Dynamically reassigning source input or renderer output connections is + only possible by using external tools, able to handle connections of a + \gls{jack} session, such as QjackCtl \citep{website:qjackctl}, Patchage + \citep{website:patchage} or aj-snapshot \citep{website:aj-snapshot}.\\ + Every \gls{jack} client is allowed to make connections to other clients + on the same server on its own. This general feature should be harnessed + in the case of the \gls{ssr} to allow assigning and reassigning of + source inputs and renderer outputs on the fly and exposing this + functionality to the \gls{osc} interface (i.e.\ by modifying and + extending the \gls{pubsub} interface).\\ + This would make the application more dynamic and allow easier scripting + of scenes and reproduction setups alike. This becomes especially useful + in the case of listening experiments, as the experiments will not have + to rely on a mixture of different scripting languages anymore (e.g.\ + see experimental setup in attachment of \citep{DmitryGrigoriev1896}). \subsubsection{Interpolation of moving sources} \label{subsubsec:interpolation_of_moving_sources} |
