Intros for new joiners (Cliff, Luis)
Luis discussed his Pulsaudio RFC:
adding PulseAudio as a build time option
Jack will stay as the default
new option for systems where getting Jack may be difficult
PR is open against SC
goal to help less technically savvy users, incl. with platforms like SonicPi that use SC internally
Discussed use of RtAudio library in PR Discussed possibility of using RtAudio for other backends Discussed possibility of using another library besides RtAudio Discussed device selection
Brian gave an update on the 3.11.1 release:
Ready to go, currently waiting on Josh
Brian suggested using Jitsi (meet.jit.si) for future calls
Most people agreed it would be desirable
James said we should check to make sure it’s not blocked anywhere contributors may live
Agreed to try the next meeting on meet.jit.si, further details TBD
Discussed what (if anything) currently keeps people from contributing:
several people said they have a hard time keeping track of what’s going on in active development
several people indicated they would like more shared priorities as a project, or to be assigned issues/PRs
navigating the Wiki to access new contributor info is hard
PRs are hard to review because they don’t stay contained/branch into other topics
Patrick brought up some PRs:
https://github.com/supercollider/supercollider/pull/5078 - merged, will cherry-pick
https://github.com/supercollider/supercollider/pull/4939 - needs new review
https://github.com/supercollider/supercollider/pull/4990 - needs review, Brian assigned self
James brought up PR 5015, asked if it might solve the same issue as his PR 4646 and therefore could try reverting 4646.
Brian said it might, give it a try
Gianluca brought up a thread on scsynth.org about audio clipping on macOS, agreed we should try to tackle this for 3.12.
Marcin asked for attention on https://github.com/supercollider/supercollider/pull/4852.
