Well, whatever. It's not possible for me to answer your points
directly without spitting venom, so I won't.
You can have your VB/Matlab solution, but it will be useless to me,
just the same as the Perl/bash/C/gnuplot combination I'm currently
using for testing filters will be useless to you. But my target is to
create portable C code, which will run on just about anything.
The advantage of a cross-platform development library would be that
both Windows and Linux coders could work on the *same* source code,
maximizing cooperation, reducing development efforts, and multiplying
the value of testing time. However, if this does not seem viable,
then forget it.
I seem to remember someone talking about creating brain-wave training
programs with flying witches and so on. For this kind of thing, a
game library would be perfect. It would also be useful for other
animated graphical representations of brain activity.
In any case, if we can even share just some basic core libraries, as
Sam pointed out, that would be worth it.
Personally, I'm not a GUI coder, so don't ask me about widget sets.
However, libSDL was designed for game coders, so I can understand it.
Whether it's suitable for the job, we won't know until someone has
tried it.
Linux is not the minefield that you make it out to be. My SBaGen code
runs on kernel versions 1.? to 2.4, both i386 and PowerPC, without
changes, and without problem.
Recently I've been trying to learn all I can about FIR/IIR/filters/
wavelets/etc, in the short term to get a brain-wave pitch-shifter
working well (the problem being getting the response time fast
enough). I've also found a little bit of info that might help us make
a parametric filter, which is one of the things that Doug saw as a
requirement.
If I can get this well-tuned and tested in C, then this could be
incorporated into almost anything, on any platform -- even embedded
systems.
