That sounds like a good choice. I think the main reason SDL never
seemed like a candidate before is merely that it has its own thread
and event API, and it's kind of dangerous to start mixing such things
up in a single app. It's bad enough trying to merge ordinary Python
threading with wxPython events so as to keep the computation and UI
pieces separable.
For the SR40 console it's probably perfect.
I always liked the meterbridge for jack.
Yes, me too. The only problem I have with it is calibration. To be
really useful longterm it needs to have some mechanism where you can
change the calibration on the fly, rather than having to kill and
restart it. Also the business of having to give bogus port names in
order to patch it in qjackctl is kind of hinky. But that's all
cosmetic and stuff you don't find out until it's been living out in
the wild for awhile.
