It runs LV2 +plugins and exposes their ports as Jack ports, essentially making any +LV2 plugin function as a Jack application. + +Jalv is a small program which is useful, but also intended to be an +appropriate test host for plugin development. It runs plugins from the +command line with no user interaction, is light enough to run in valgrind, +and is capable of dumping all plugin to/from UI communication in a human +readable format. + +For testing with various host toolkits, there are several Jalv +executables: jalv, jalv.gtk, jalv.gtkmm, and jalv.qt. The jalv and +jalv.gtk programs are suitable for production use by users, the others +are less complete and intended for developer testing only. By default, +this SlackBuild only builds jalv (text) and jalv.gtk (gtk+-2.0). If you +really want to build the other UIs, pass ALL_UIS=yes in the script's +environment (and make sure you have gtkmm installed). + +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. |
