Hi,
thank you for your answer.
rlimits seem to work, becasue i got the same results as mentioned above.
In fact i have a Centrino Duo (Dual Core) notebook, so this might be the reason fpr my xruns and stuttering sound?
If i run jackd -h i got no option mention --clocksource.
What can i do next?

Thank you,
Julian
