Although things may change a bit with the arrival of Apple M1 systems, the marketing mentions of VST in this context are fairly weasely. For users, good look finding more than a couple of plugin developers that make their plugins available for (a) a Linux based system AND (b) the ARM architecture. For developers, VST is just an SDK, and doesn't require OS support in any meaningful way. So sure, if you want to create…
Its a great project. It's intended to help hardware makers bring pro audio gear to market with less cost and less risk. Not as a retail vst host.

Elk seems to be pushing the RPi as the h/w platform. You will likely have a difficult time finding an RPi with an ethernet chipset capable of correctly doing PTP.
I don't think you need the sub-microsecond resolution PTP compatible PHYs offer. I was hoping to get away with software timestamping which I believe should still give you sub ms synchronization. My real question, I guess, is how in sync do the speakers need to be? Just on the order of human perception, or do we need them to be in phase?

I’ve never understood the latency requirement for professional gear, are you able to articulate why there’s a need for lower latency than average consumer gear?
When I saw the headline, I wondered/hoped if it was an OS with an audio/only UI. I'm sure this is cool, but a fully thought-out audio-only UI would be fascinating.
It’s a Linux distribution with real-time kernel. Here’s a download link if anybody is interested: https://github.com/elk-audio/elk-pi/releases

I started developing a blind computing system in the late 80s based on a BBC Micro and a very early speech synthesizer. It never went anywhere, and I'm no longer in contact with the blind friend who was helping me, but I often wonder if today's solutions such as Apple's Voiceover aren't the ideal solution. They seem to be trying to adapt the GUI for the blind, rather than trying to build a text/voice based system fro…
As a legally blind developer who has worked on accessibility for a while (see my HN profile for more), I'm inclined to agree with you. We use screen readers like VoiceOver because, practically, we often need to access mainstream applications. But I think we tend to get too dogmatic about going mainstream, to the point that some of us are disdainful toward systems designed specifically for blind people, particularly i…
