Hi folks!
OK beat me round the head with a rubber-bat. I gave /dev/shm as jack's
tmpdir. Not good. Now LS runs fine. BUT!!!
But still when I do the following - and this is repeatable:
start fluidsynth like this:
fluidsynth -a jack -j -r 48000 nd_bass_guitar.sf2
Start ecasound and use it:
ecasound -B:rtlowlatency -b:64 -r 30 -c -a:1 -i jack_auto,fluidsynth \
-o test.wav -a:2 -i null -pn:met,120 -a:3 -i monitor.wav -a:2,3 -o
jack_alsa
And then after working finish ecasound. Fluidsynth looses its connection
because JACK simply dies, saying:
jackd watchdog: timeout - killing jackd
Aborted
This is not nice, though sufferable. But as sufferable still contains "to
suffer", it would be nice to abolish it.
Can anyone help here?
Kindest regards
Julien
I'm not sure this is a jack problem. The dependence on the size of the loaded
data files rather hints at problems in the clients that only show in realtime
mode.. Maybe try
a] allowing apps to mlock more memory
b] using a longer timeout for jack [see manpage]
/dev/shm is actually a rather good choice for the jack temp directory.. [when
there's a shmfs mounted there]
