[linux-audio-user] Clicks/pops in recording

[Sampo Savolainen]

Quoting Chris Abbott <redfox at 99b.org>:

> Just recently I recorded a live piano concerto. All of this was done

> the M-audio which was connected to the ibook. Well, the burned CDs 
> turned at great(note-I had the digital sample rate set to 48Khz). I had

Did jack report xruns during the time you were recording?
