Michal,
as Guenter Geiger pointed out on the PD list a little while ago, Jack
has gone through a lot of changes in the past few months. one of them is
this shm thing. the no-running-as-root thing is Demudi specific. so, as
the old sayin' says, if it ain't broke, don't fix it! i guess this
shouldn't be much of problem if you compile all your jack-aware apps
yourself, and haven't gone for any really new versions. but maybe the
latest CVS versions of PD would need this new Jack. dunno know for sure,
as i am not a devloper :-)

[this is a virtual file system which Jack uses. you will run Jack as
user, not as root. if you run it as root, it will make a logfile in
/dev/shm that will jam up everything, and you will have to remove this
file to continue.]
hmm, funny, I don't have this problem. I'm not 'running' demudi, only a
few items including the kernel (2.4.18-586-demudi installed _long_ time ago) but things
like alsa + jack and many others I compile myself. I run jack as root (it doesn't
allow me run with -R) and /dev/shm in fact gets filled with some stuff but it cleans up
afterwards... Maybe I didn't run it long enough? What am I doing wrong? :)
jack version 0.67.2.
