I'll keep sending the dumps to your e-mail to no bother everyone with
garbage. I'll keep digging on what it might be, as i try some code, I think
the right way is to see where is the native GTK Port, there should be on
ready by know and do it in some widget interface that is very skinnable to
make it very beauty to the people's eyes.
I'm really not handy with cocoa interface and even objective C, i'm a Unix
code and really don't understand Mac OS X interfaces yet, as i've bought my
first Mac only when they come to the X86 arch.
I'm reading a lot of stuff about how the internals in kernel works, as my
first self assigned learning job of this architecture is build a driver or
just a wrapper to the bcd2000 onboard sound card (its always easiest to
understand everything from the beginning for me).
It seems as a highly object oriented architecture so i it might be easy to
get how the things work, your machine will be just what i'm needing is my
main study will focus on haptic interfaces for sound generation.
See ya
