I was very surprised to see Jack2 working well set to realtime + soft
mode, with a normal (non-rt) kernel, giving me 2.67 ms stated latency
without kernel crashes in Fedora 13. Anyone doing it this way? Anyone
see disadvantages? So far it's pretty gravy for me.
J.E.B.
Isn't softmode the mode that doesn't report xruns?
-s, --softmode Soft-mode, no xrun handling (default: false)
What this means exactly I don't know, but I doubt that softmode is
something that should be used unless there's a good reason for it.
Yep, obviously has little to do with performance, if that's what the
poster was hinting at. I use it so that my tray icon remains green
throughout despite 1 or 2 xruns.
