OK.
Sorry, for the late reply, I wasn't on the good machine these last days.
I'm not sure to understand what you mean. I've been googling a bit about
wicd (which I already heard about), and I found it was kind of a network
manager, in some ways, but I didn't see anything telling I can use it
with netjack. Perhaps I misoriented you when typing "reloading
netmanager", I was actually talking about:
jack_load netmanager
and
jack_unload netmanager
commands, which are linked to jeckd and netjack.
by the way, I'd like to benchmark a bit my latencies today, as I'm
quite sure (I feel it, actually) they are bigger with jackdmp/netjack2
than they were with jack 0.116/netjack1. Not sure it comes from netjack
or from jackdmp, or whatever.
I use it with slow mode, which is, if I understand well, the best way to
keep latencies smaller as possible on the master machine.
What do you suggest me to use for the benchmarks?
Thanks.

Actually, I re-open it!
I use netjack2 for weird purposes which doesn't share any audio stream,
actually. Only MIDI and jack_transport sync, finally.
Though, I sometimes get xruns, which can be stopped by unloading the
netmanager, and relaunching everything on the slave machine (which runs
with the -S mode), and then reloading netmanager.
Couldn't find what it came from..... On Tue, Feb 09, 2010 at 04:15:05PM -0500, David

are you running the slave jackd with -S ?
thats necessary.
[insert some random bitching about netjack2 here]
Just closing this topic off in case someone stumbles upon it from an
internet search: I monitored my network traffic and found mountd
transmitted, I think every 20s, from port 771 to 2049 and that
coincided with my xruns. I umounted my 2 NFS drives and haven't had an
xrun since -- at least not with 2 channels.
