Re: [linux-audio-user] This criticism of jackd valid?

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Chris Metzler schrieb: I think the poster lacks experience with jackd - he appears to be ignorant, what an xrun is in the real world, I posted this reply on slashdot: I can run jackd with ardour at 2.3ms stable and reliable on a 2.5 year old PIV 2.8 with a 6 year old Terratec Audiocard, while having Firefox browsing the Internet and with a Desktop Preempt Kernel. Plus: xruns occour from time to time but only if I start up critical Apps like Zynadd, load huge Projectfiles etc. So to be sure, that xruns do not cause any harm, I only need to avoid starting major apps while a Recording is running... When I close a usual session after 3-5 h I have maybe 3-4 xruns and none of them influenced the recorded material in any way. Even if I run into real trouble with jackd (by playing a problematic Zynadd-Patch with too much polyphony or the like), the session recovers usually without need to restart, when stopping the apps, that had caused the trouble. So I fail to get your point: what are you doing with your system and your other-side-of-the-globe Musicians that a single xrun can destroy your work?? best regards Z
