Hello all,
Has anyone been using csound with -+rtaudio=jack while using pipewire as
their jack backend? I've found that it leads to some weirdness,
including not playing back sound at all sometimes (this was happening in
non-predictable ways). Also, it seems to require the -B buffer size to
be 2048 for my machine, even though pw-top says it's running at 1024 as
its buffer size.
Csound has been working great using -+rtaudio=pulse, but when I want to
use it for live midi stuff, I definitely will need to use the
-+rtaudio=alsa, or -+rtaudio=jack for that lower latency.
Thank you again for your help,
Brandon Hale
