well, after poking around the bios, they don't allow you to turn that
option off. crap...
Quite possibly true. If the cpu simply can't keep
up the pace required, it
simply ain't gonna work. However, silent, catastrophic failure isn't a polite
way for the app to handle the situation. I'm interested in improving that,
especially with regard to "zombies at every patch switch".
ok, and if that's what the final word is, then I'm just going to have
to be OK with that. however, I'm curious - when I avoid jack
altogether and just run the app using ALSA only, patch switches work
just dandy. obviously that really outside the bounds of what you're
trying to do (improve jack), but I'm less inclined to believe that the
processor is at fault - if it was, wouldn't the whole thing bomb out,
regardless if I'm using ALSA or jack?
IANAP, b/t/w. :)
