  Hello, I have created a patch that allows timeachine
to automatically
 start and stop recording based on the audio signal. Recording will start
 when a sample value exceeds a start threashold. Recording stops when
 sample values remain below a stop threashold for a period of time.  
Nice.
  However if I try to start timemachine backgrounded it
just seems to exit
 and brings jack down with it. If I run it in the foreground and try to
 killall timemachine it does not exit gracefully but brings jack down as
 well. In either case I see output from jack like:
 subgraph starting at time timed out (subgraph_wait_fd = 7, status = 0,
 state = Triggered)
 jackd watchdog: timeout - killed jack
 [1]+ Killed      timemachine 
Try adding an atexit(3) handler that exits from the jack graph.
Timemachine should not be able to bring down jack, so that is probably a
bug in jack, though it might well be triggered by a bug in timemachine.
I can't think of any reasons why timemachine might not like being
backgrounded offhand.

You might want to stop this, the ChangeLog + CVS stuff can represent
this in a more programmer friendly way. I everyone did that youd never
be able to read the code ;)
