This is done on startup. Get device not found or busy.

This is on a Debian Sid system. I tried compiling the alsa sources and that
succeded in making mess. Had to remove and reinstall the kernel.

I am not on these list. I saw a patch somewhere google.
I have been considering giving rlimits a go, but the link to the patched
debian version of pam appears to have disappeared. I am loathe to go the
tarball route as if I remove the libpam0g package I will also have to
remove login!!
Any useful links? I notice that the 0.8 ? version of pam will work with
rlimits, but no deb repository carries it AFAIK.

Hello list-o-mine,
I have PD, jack, qjackctl, and all sorts of other tools built now,
including kernel 2.6.13-rc4-RT-V0.7.53-02; So now what do I have to do
to run audio in realtime?
With the lsm kernel I could set permissions to my group ID and then I
could just run everything as me. Do I have to run jackd and pd as root?
Thanks for the help!

PS: I am also curious if there is a linux-announce list for linux made
audio, or are we still posting those to this list?
Hi all,
I'm trying to get an Echo Indigo IO working under Gentoo 2.6.12 kernel.
The card's recognized correctly by ALSA and I can play through it but
all output is badly distorted.
I had the same problem on this laptop under Windows and fixed it using a
utility from Echo to disable prefetch for the cardbus chipset (ENE
CB1410). Does anyone know how to disable prefetch under Linux? I've
had a go at hacking the cardbus driver source but I've not got the right
result yet.
If there are any other good places I could ask about this that'd be
useful as well.
Cheers,

First of all, the original statement to which I responded was vague.
I merely responded in kind.
Second, it appears that you didn't do your homework regarding bug
reports, etc. FYI, the main problem is indiscriminant use of mlockall()
in Linux audio, especially making it the default behavior. Many people
are not affected by it because they aren't really doing much with their
systems.
Third, I've written Linux audio software myself, which I consider to be
more constructive than many people here. Construction means making
something, doesn't it?
Fourth, labelling something as "destructive" or "not constructive" is counterproductive to further discussion, therefore counterproductive
to that which you seem to be suggesting that I do. It defeats your own
argument.
Regards,
Dave.
Hi again Ron,
On another topic, you posted:

> every 10 or 20 of Mac OS 9?
My experience has been that Linux audio requires 10 to 20 times as many
reboots as Windows audio, the opposite of all other applications. The
Linux kernels themselves, if left alone, are very stable.

No, that's not my opinion. I stated exactly what my opinion was. Please
don't misrepresent it.
> Linux is far beyound a research platform.
Nor did I say that it was solely a research platform. It is much more
well-suited for research than Windows. IMO there is no competition there,
not only in audio but in other fields as well.
Since 1997, I've used exclusively Linux for everything but audio, finances,
and digital photography. Prior to that, I used it at work at a semiconductor
company, so I completely agree with you on that point.
Regards,
Dave.

What's the use then to have 512 Mb of ram, if you are using only about 50 Mb? Linux, on its side, use it a lot!

>> You've asked some good questions.
And you gave some great answers. Thanks. I half
expected responses saying I had included too many
variables, and that there might be others that I
hadn't even considered that made the answers to my
questions impossible to pinpoint.
I also had considered the possibility, after I sent
the message, that it could be a less-than-high-quality
soundfont in the mix...
Many thanks again,
Mark
