Hi Mastiff,
Thanks for the reply. Girder is what I use now and my .gml works fairly well. I just need to spend some more time learning and tweaking Girder to work out a few issues. You don't happen to know how to get Girder to control an app while it's in the system tray do you?
As far as using MC to control a soundcard's analog input(s), for one thing, I have it in my head that it would be better to have the master volume in MC control everything, as opposed to using the master output from my soundcard. I believe MC works with 32 bit precision and my SC only 24 bits, so MC has a few more bits to play with as far as DSP operations are concerned, which I believe volume control, amongst other things fall into that category. Now this may be a wash with 16 bit source material, but looking to the future...
Second, just as including management for JPEG, video, documents, etc. was a natural extension of MC's existing capabilities, it "seems" that access/control of a SC's analog inputs is one of the few things MC has yet to address from a media/pc point of view, although I'm sure everyone has a different list
For me, having this "feature" would help to round-out MC's capabilities and simplify it's use as front-end for a pc based audio system. I would guess that I'm not alone here, albeit in the minority...for the moment
