[ardour-users] generating (and testing?) Ardour XML

Thu Jun 14 08:34:55 PDT 2007

This will probably be a fruitless question, but does anyone see any issues 
with this Ardour xml found below?  It doesn't load .. .the only error I've 
been able to squeeze out of the system is "no DiskStreams section",  which 
isn't the case.

Perhaps a useful question is:  any advice on how to systematically test 
this?  I'm  starting with 1 soundfile, but there's already so much 
complexity I have no clue where the problem may lie.

I'm wondering if there is a problem with all of the ids:  I believe I have 
connected the id's that need to be connected, and otherwise, ids are all 
unique.  However,  one possible issue is that when defining for example, a 
"Controllable id",  I assumed that it didn't matter if that was the same 
as some Region id, since they are from different worlds (again,  I 
assume).

(By the way,  if you copy/paste this xml into a doc, and call it "hi.xml" 
or whatever,  you can look at it nicely in Firefox.)

Thanks,
CB
