[LAU] using Jack an interface to ecasound

> them to my analog outputs through alsa. I have it working, with jack &
> qjackctl, but the buffer size that jack is presenting to the digital piano
> app is 1024, about 10x bigger than I want.  I would like pianoteq and
> ecasound to run synchronously with minimal latency. At first  I thought I
> could just call jackd  -d ecasound -p 128, but of course  ecasound is not
> one of jack's supported backends.  So I've been using the "dummy" backend,
> and using qjackctl to connect ports from pianoteq to ecasound.  That works
> fine, but I can't manage to configure the buffer size down to 128, even
> though I start up ecasound with -i jack -b:128, and I also go to setup in
> qjackctl and specify buffer size 128 for "dummy".  When qjackctl brings up
> the jack server, the buffer size gets overridden to 1024; I see the message
> in the log. What am I doing wrong?  Is Jack the wrong approach, when it is
> ecasound, not jack, that writes to alsa?
> Thanks very much!
