No problem. What 'support for ardour edl-files' means in practise is a new
ecasound audio i/o plugin (like aRts and ALSA plugins), which would be
linked against the ardour/quasimodo libraries. Ardour provides (last time
I checked) a read/write style interface for accessing the edl-data. In
other words we just ask for Ardour to produce x frame of sample data and
all the heavy-weight processing happens inside libardour (or whatever the
exact library).
But considering I still haven't managed to build ardour myself (although I
admit I haven't tried that seriously), I'm willing to wait until ardour
stabilizes a bit. But if someone else is interested, just go ahead!
