[linux-audio-user] RME Digi96/8 PST and jackd watchdog timeout

I just bought a RME Digi96/8 PST soundcard and installed it on my computer. Once rebooted, info in /proc/asound/cards seems to be correct: $ cat /proc/asound/cards 0 [CK8S ]: NFORCE - NVidia CK8S NVidia CK8S with ALC850 at 0xfc001000, irq 193 1 [PST ]: Digi96 - RME Digi96/8 PST RME Digi96/8 PST at 0xfb000000, irq 201 2 [UM1 ]: USB-Audio - UM-1 EDIROL UM-1 at usb-0000:00:02.0-4, full speed I am forcing index numbers via /etc/modprobe.d/sound so mobo's internal soundcard is the default device. If I tell xmms to use ALSA and output hw:1,0, it works nicely and RME plays sound. But if I tell jackd to use that same output, it gets killed by the watchdog! 13:49:32.867 JACK is starting... 13:49:32.869 jackd -R -t10000 -dalsa -dhw:1,0 -r44100 -p256 -n2 13:49:32.880 JACK was started with PID=5961 (0x1749). jackd 0.101.1 Copyright 2001-2005 Paul Davis and others. jackd comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it under certain conditions; see the file COPYING for details JACK compiled with System V SHM support. loading driver .. apparent rate = 44100 creating alsa driver ... hw:1,0|hw:1,0|256|2|44100|0|0|nomon|swmeter|-|32bit control device hw:1 configuring for 44100Hz, period = 256 frames, buffer = 2 periods nperiods = 32 for capture nperiods = 32 for playback 13:49:35.000 Server configuration saved to "/home/ismael/.jackdrc". 13:49:35.002 Statistics reset. 13:49:35.005 Client activated. 13:49:35.007 Audio connection change. 13:49:35.012 Audio connection graph change. 13:49:35.057 XRUN callback (1). 13:49:37.017 XRUN callback (169 skipped). jackd watchdog: timeout - killing jackd zombified - calling shutdown handler 13:49:38.023 Shutdown notification. 13:49:38.025 Client deactivated. 13:49:38.027 JACK was stopped successfully. cannot send request type 7 to server cannot read result for request type 7 from server It's the same no matter if I change frames/period, periods/buffer, priority, timeout, input and output channels, it's always the same. I'm finding pretty difficult to find a PCI slot in my mobo which allows me to use an isolated IRQ for the RME, if anyone thinks this could be the problem.. I am running vanilla 2.6.17 with Ingo Molnar's rt8 patches. I can post my kernel config if useful. Any ideas will be very welcome so thanks in advance.
