I've been banging my head against this one all evening. Now I'm going to go to sleep on it, but I throw it out for the wiser and more experienced to see if you can see my error. The code is at http://fugal.net/~fugalh/src/alex which you are welcome to refer to and critique. It segfaults on line 171 of jack.cc, but not if I comment out line 158 (or use 0 for the second argument). It seems to segfault once input_rb is nearly or completely to the end (not full, since it is being drained by the other thread; it's just as it would wrap around). The autopsy shows that it is segfaulting because output_rb and consequentially vec is completely hosed. What I don't understand is how jack_ringbuffer_write_advance(input_rb, something_plenty_small) could possibly hose output_rb. something_plenty_small is usually on the order of 160 bytes. I'm running jackd with a 512 byte buffer at 48000Hz.
