but when
attempting to start jack, it complained a certain pid was using
the soundcard.
ps alx said it was - guess what - pulseaudio...
It was only because I have spent a lot of time in a naval town that I
have the vocabulary to say how very much I hate pulseaudio.
+1 , or -1 if you prefers, on PA...
OTOH, maybe you could try
http://www.rncbc.org/jack/rtirq-20111007.tar.gz
this script allows you to fix once & for all reboots the IRQ priorities
when use a RT kernel.
I said that, because it seems strange you have a priority of 89 for 2 #
things...
You're supposed, AFAIK, to have something like the highest priority is the
RT clock, then the hardware, then ALSA, than Jack, then Ardour.
Please someone on the list rectify if I'm wrong !
ps -eo cmd,rtprio will list all the realtime priorities for all your
tasks
cat /proc/asound/cards will show the IRQs for your cards
the rtirq script is definitly your friend when do pro-audio ;-))
see here for a good howto
