embedding custom wayland UI stuff on top of gtk3 and gtk4 based applications works! 🎉 the gtk APIs to get down to the wayland surface are a bit awkward, but at least its accessible. I tried the same with Qt6 and couldn't find a way to have it return the underlying wl_surface pointer. 🤷 I got an LV2 plugin UI with this setup working, but no hosts to try it out against. Modifying jalv.gtk3 is likely the easiest path... 🤔 WIP test code dump at

Checking on the status of opensource audio apps and plugins (previously known to me) is quite the sad sight, quite a lot of them have been abandoned 😔 I am thinking of tagging anything that: 1. has no stable release in 10 years AND 2. has no single dev commit/change in 5 years as "abandoned". Alternatively if the project owner publicly states it is no longer maintained. The amount of projects that fit into this criteria is not small. And I feel 10 & 5 year thing is quite generous..

KXStudio Project Update (June 2025)

Hello all, it has been a while since the last project update/news....

Very short this time, writing these always takes me way too long, so I will try to go with this more formal format for the moment and see how it goes...

My big commit of the day:

Remove dependency on asio headers · wineasio/wineasio@8d0d748

Signed-off-by: falkTX <falktx@falktx.com>

Remove ASIO dependency from WineASIO 😱 It was only a few definitions, and since the core codebase was unchanged for so long we can safely replace a few structs with API-incompatible but ABI-compatible variants. Seems to work just as before
