(My name is Alex, I just want to chime in real quick. Been following the convo, have a full-year's worth of Ubuntu LAD bug reports to deliver, not even sure how to go about it, but it's all 100% - or almost - stuff I haven't been able to find anywhere, and the reason I wanted to chime in until now is that this is the exact crux of the matter. I will keep in touch, no worries about that. Can't wait to deliver the Full Report on the Problem with LAD. 17 years computer-assisted sound design here, and I'm not alone in what has become the bane of my existence, which is why I just switched back to Windows, believe it or not. Don't mind me, just letting you know I'm here, listening, at the controls, headphones on.) -A.G.

Hi Guys

sorry for the delay. carnival time here in Brasil...

Jeremy: I’m using the BB Audio Cape, v1. I’ll take a look at the audio driver, but from our tests the BBB cpu won’t do the job.  We’re heading to the Cubie’s A20 cpu.

Paul. I’m really sorry for my lack of comprehension, but I still don’t get it.  Is there a relation between the ALSA period with JACK’s period?

Kind regards
