so which card
are you trying to use? the ensoniq i guess.
Yes!. Because I compiled vortex drivers without success. > > /var/log/boot.0:Thu Oct 16 14:24:13 2003:
Starting ALSA (version 0.9.6):
so alsa init sript runs without errors now...?
Yes. I don't know how to say in english but
I'll try :-) -> the power
company leave the city (this day) without power for political reasons.
[because power companies wants to grow up their taxes]
wow!
Aborted by signal Interrupt...
i originally thought this was an error but i guess it is just
you hitting Ctl-C. it looks like
alsa is not the problem, but before moving onto jack
maybe it would be wise to check recording from the soundcard input
rather than stdin.
Ok... I'll take a look of arecord documentation, because arecord throw
the data to stdout. jack:
how often are the xruns? or are they too fast to count?
Intinite times or using
your words: 'too fast to count'. pls post the first few lines of jack output.
# jackd -d alsa -d hw:0 -p512 |head -n 6
JACK compiled with System V SHM support
loading driver ..
open
starting engine
**** alsa_pcm: xrun of at least 0.060 msecs The kernel is only compiled with low-latency because I
can't find
preemptible patch for kernel 2.4.22.
maybe its standard?
does your kernel compile ".config" file have "CONFIG_PREEMPT=y"?
maybe dont
start with ardour as its undergoing rapid development
atm. Better to imo use eg 'alsaplayer -o jack'. Also use one of
the jack control guis such as qjackconnect or qjackctl to check
jackd has 2 input ports and 2 output ports.
Without running jackd I tried to do that:
# jackrec -f pepe -d 4 0
cannot connect to jack server
cannot connect to default JACK server
jack server not running? #
but running jackd [with a lot of xruns output in the other console]
I get this error:
# jackrec -f pepe -d 4 0
cannot connect input port jackrec:input1 to 0
# jackrec -f pepe -d 4 1
cannot connect input port jackrec:input1 to 1
# jackrec -f pepe -d 4 2
cannot connect input port jackrec:input1 to 2
[I changed port by hand... because I don't have qjackconnect or
qjackctl, I'll investigate why]
http://qjackctl.sourceforge.net
http://www.suse.de/~mana/jack.html
but i suspect none of these will work with your 'infinite' xruns :-)

i hope that doesnt apply in this case! :-)
