Has anyone managed to successfully get jackd
talking to dmix?
My dmix setup works fix (i run VoIP stuff, artsd, and other assorted junk
through it daily).
jackd works great when connect to hw:0,0 or to plughw:0,0 (with the warning),
but if I point it at my dmix'd "default" it sits there with 100% CPU
usage,
and doesn't otherwise operate.
Does anyone have this combination of jack and dmix working?
It is due to the fact that the alsa programming in jackd has been
implemented wrongly. The poll revents are not handled correctly.
This results is OK operation when using hw:0,0, but likely to fail for
more exotic alsa configurations like dmix.
Does this also explain why JACK does not work with the ALSA PCM multi
plugin, unless ALSA is patched?
