They see Windows, they can increase the buffer size and not more, they are happy. But that should be no reason to distribute a "simplejackd" that's hardcoded to use the ALSA backend, 2 buffers and the same audio adapter for in and out. As I wrote before: Most of the confusion results in the many audio architectures available for Linux. That's one of the reasons for audio oriented Linux distributions. But the other way (using my main PC for audio, too) is possible. I did it and after I understood that Pulsaudio can be a problem I configured it to - not autospawn - output via jackd and start a script automaticall when logging in that handles it all for me. There are many, many other ways to do it but I am a more technical guy and want it simple and reproducable. -- snip -- #!/bin/bash FREQ=48000 BUFFERS=2 PERIODS=128 PRIO=90 killall -9 pulseaudio killall -9 jackd killall -9 alsa_out killall -9 jack_mixer killall -9 jack_thru killall -9 jack-plumbing sleep 1 aplay -l | grep CODEC 2>&1 >/dev/null RC=$? if [ $RC = 0 ] then HW=CODEC else aplay -l | grep USB 2>&1 >/dev/null RC=$? if [ $RC = 0 ] then HW=USB else HW=PCH fi fi /usr/bin/jackd -P$PRIO -p512 -t2000 -dalsa \ -r$FREQ -p$PERIODS -n$BUFFERS -Xseq -dhw:$HW \ JACKPID=$! jack_wait -w pulseaudio --exit-idle-time=-1 -D PULSEPID=$! sleep 1 jack_thru main & JACKTHRUPID=$! xfce4-terminal -T jack-plumbing -e ~/scripts/jack-plumbing.sh & JACKPLUMBINGPID=$! wait -- snap --
