Yes. First set the callback, and only later call jack_activate().


Two tiny jack clients which may come in handy:

 * jackxrun: report x-runs on the command line
 * busyjack: create artificial load

http://gareus.org/gitweb/?p=jackfreqd.git;a=tree;f=tools;
gcc -o jackxrun jackxrun.c -ljack
gcc -o busyjack busyjack.c -ljack

./jackxrun # reports xruns in the terminal
./busyjack 90 # will ramp things up to 90% DSP load (default is 50)

It can be used to create x-runs, yet it's not the same as a x-run from hw.

Your callback function must return 0.
