my normal reaction to people pointing fingers at jack is fixing their
code. i cant do that in this case.
i am just not convinced, that there is a bug in jacks transport
implementation.
jack-transport has weaknesses, but these are not relevant in this case.
I think he is pointing to a weak point of closed
source applications,
especially if there is a bug which is fixed by JACK experts more easy
and better. Because of being a close source app, it's obvious that there
is little JACK devs can do in this case if they don't provide more
information about the problem.
I know it's a totally valid point, but I believe some people (not
torbenh) loves being able to shake off all responsibility and at
same time comming out on top as the all-good-opensource-heros with a
statement like that.
So this was not saying torbenh is this kinda guy. And it might be
me, but I feel that every time a closed source app is discussed
around here, there's always this tone of lack of respect for both
the app and the guys using them. Which is a great shame, esp
considering renoise is the most stable piece of software I ever ran
and IMHO the most rounded musical application available under linux.
I would love an open source app, but there just aren't many options
(without sacrificing both features and stability). For me it's
really like I pay 40 euro and can concentrate on what it's all
about.
But again it might just be me, and this was, as I said, not really
an accuse against torbenh, I guess it was just a "drop made my cup
overflow"...
Sorry for the rant :-)
