While Jackd is runnning, other applications like Amarok and system sound alerts cannot use Alsa at the same time.<br>But JACK diagram given in it's web site shows that any non-jackified application can use Alsa Userspace Library at the same time.<br>
<br clear="all">And, Sampo Savolainan told me that, other programs can use the ALSA library, but jack needs exclusive<br>access to the audio hardware it uses. Nothing is stopping a non-jack program<br>to access other sound interfaces you might have in your system.<br>
<br>How is this exclusive access given to Jack ?<br><br>-- <br>Arda EDEN<br>Cumhuriyet University<br>Faculty of Fine Arts<br>Department of Music Technology
