SDL2 Gets Initial Support For JACK Audio Kit

Written by Michael Larabel in Free Software on 9 June 2017 at 05:54 AM EDT. 3 Comments

SDL2 now has initial support for the JACK Audio Connection Kit sound server.

SDL2 is now capable of targeting the multi-platform JACK sound server. It's a bit surprising JACK support for SDL has taken so long, but now it's there.

If you haven't looked at JACK in years, you can see the latest on this open-source sound project via JACKAudio.org. SDL2 support for JACK opens up this sound server support to a plethora of games and other applications making use of the Simple DirectMedia Layer.
