Hi Jostein,

This is interesting. Did you patch the rt sources at all or are you 
running the kernel as it came from the repo ? Did you simply drop-in the 
jackdmp version of jackd (./waf configure --prefix=/usr) or was any 
other action required ?

Btw, I determined that the rt kernel was causing many of the troubles I 
had with 8.10. Running the non-rt kernel eliminates those problems, 
specifically the system hang at logout or shutdown. Of course, it also 
leaves me without an rt-capable kernel. :(

Best,
