Running sudo WILL init /dev/dsp with no jack. Did not hear anything from the sample project, however. With jack, sudo will not show the alsa-pcm and no jack clients show up.

The backend implementation in a bit different in (C++) jackdmp thus the initial C netjack backend would have to be adapted. Moreover netjack need to access some internal part of the transport stuff that is not yet "cleanly" exposed (neither in jackd or jackdmp) But contributions are always welcomed ((-: Stephane

[linux-audio-user] This criticism of jackd valid?

by Chris Metzler

As much more of a music maker than a developer, I'm not able to evaluate whether this post from a current thread on Slashdot is a valid criticism of JACK: http://ask.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=217898&cid=17700570 I'm curious what people here think? -c -- Chris Metzler cmetzler(a)speakeasy.snip-me.net (remove "snip-me." to email) "As a child I understood how to give; I have forgotten this grace since I have become civilized." - Chief Luther Standing Bear

[linux-audio-user] netjack & jackdmp ?

by Geoff Beasley

it seems netjack won't build against jackdmp. It won't for me anyway. Does anyone have netjack working with jackdmp ? I get an error when i try to build; something about jack_micoseconds_something.. sorry, i didn't write it down at the time :( best, g.

[linux-audio-user] hardware mixing - what it _actually_ is?

by unknown＠example.com

hi community. i am choosing a sound card for my new box, an i found myself totally obscured about such thing as hardware mixing. so, please help me to clarify: (0) what it _actually_ does? and (1) in particular, (how) can it help in live performance? some details: i'm choosind between echo (mia midi or gina 3g) and m-audio (delta series) cards. the only thing used for live performance is csound driven by hardware midi controllers. thanx in advance. p.s. yes, i did pretty much googling etc before writing here. -- sex, pot, open source!!

I can confirm the RME HDSP 9632 cards and add-ons also support hardware mixing. They work really well too I may add.

The only telling output is about bad samplerate 44100, (same as in jackd, only one on the card, I'm afraid) or device busy (nothing else to my knowledge running) The latency was also identical to that in jack setup and jack will start, so .... BTW: All choices but alsa-pcm for jackd running WILL be busy (jack will take them). Most programs init a jack client which may be manually or automatically connected to the available alsa-pcm. The audio devices dropdown not really relevant for jack. For non-jack, hw:0 should be available/ /dev/dsp should also work using alsa-oss emulation. Right now, none work. I am using realtime-lsm and am in the 29-audio group. Should not need to but must one do something about that SUID bit that gets set in most music program setups?
