JACK 0.92.0 has been released.
Mostly minor changes:
* allow `jackd' to belong to a non-root group
* new ./configure option, --disable-ensure-mlock
- allows JACK and its clients to run in realtime mode without
having memory locking privileges.
- default behavior same as before (--enable-ensure-mlock), JACK
clients terminate if running -R and unable to lock memory.
* option parsing bugs fixed.
* correctly handle deactivate/activate sequence for:
- slow-syn callback
- timebase callback
Jack can be downloaded at http://jackit.sf.net .

I'm not too concerned with the 2.6.0 kernel. I'm more interested in the 2.6.1 kernel after Andrew Morton has merged his patch set into the official kernel. Does anybody know what type of effect, if any, his patch set has on multimedia work?

My experience with 2.6, and also the impression I have got from reading
linux-audio-dev, is actually the opposite. The 2.6.0 kernel is worse
for multimedia work, because the latency is higher than 2.4.0 with the
low-latency patch. I don't know mathematical that this is correct, but it
seems so.
Hopefully it is possible to make a low-latency patch for the 2.6 kernel as
well?

But that kind of questions reveal what we are missing.
It could be better you to continue using Cooledit.
I use Audacity nearly daily and would use it more if it would
not miss some features. Audacity and Rosegarden have quite bad
audio engines: Audacity freezes completely if one has several
tracks (even if only one track is soloed), and Rosegarden skips
segments and plays segments at wrong speed.
I would not go to any exhibition and show Linux audio yet.
Good luck for you who do that.
I'm quite critical user (if pointing out malfunctions can be called
"critic"), so, if anyone of you developer would like to have my feedback
on your software, please let me know. I will install latest version of
your software and will tell what happens and what I experience. Maybe
such a feedback could lead to a better software. I cannot myself
go and fix 20+ Linux audio software even I would like to do that.

I tried to duplicate the distortion w/ Hydrogen & Ardour, and couldn't.
It happened consistently at the end of the first play-through of the
song. What version of Hydrogen are you using? I upgrade to 0.8.1 last
night.

I got the same thing last week, but I haven't had the problem since and
I haven't had a chance to try to duplicate it. I'll give it a shot
tonight.
Hi
What sort of improvements are we(linux-audio-users) to expect upon
upgrading the kernel of our DAW to 2.6.0? I am asking the question to
get some knowledge and start a nice discussion. I have read 'The
Wonderful World of Linux 2.6' on http://www.kniggit.net/wwol26.html
There is a nice paragraph on 'audio and multimedia'; it mentions ALSA's
inclusion in the kernel and improvements in USB Audio and MIDI devices
and some upgrade in Video4Linux subsystem, as well.
What does it all mean to our day-to-day productivity? Should I now get
the M-Audio Firewire 410, because its functionality might/probably have
improved?
Any thoughts?

Hello,
I have a Terratec EWS88MT soundcard, and I want to control it via a
console interface. Many users with this card use the envy24control
program (which does it job) but that's no option for me since X is not
available on that machine...
Alsamixer lists all the channels, but has some problems outputting sound
to all the eight channels. If I send some signal to all the eight
channels i'm only getting sound output on two or three of them... I'm
using v0.9.8 of the libraries, drivers and utilities.
I've tried aumix, but that mixer doesn't show the channels I need...
Any advice what to do next?
Thanks!

Hi. I'm trying to get my multiface to work with my laptop
again. I've gotten to a point where I can start
jackd and it seems to run ok except that ~2 seconds after
it starts, my keyboard goes numb with
pc_keyb: controller jammed (0x15) or
pc_keyb: controller jammed (0x35)
This is not the only situation where this has happened.
Things got a lot better when I switched to another driver
for my graphics card.
I know this is not strictly audio-related but maybe
someone has similar experiences and can help?
