I think the point that Jan made in another thread
somewhere on this tmpfs
subject (and I may be wrong here so don't take this as gospel) is that since
Jack is now compiled to use a specific FIFO location, if you change the
location in fstab then you *must* recompile Jack to point it to the new
location. I'm just being extra careful in asking you if you actually did
that recompile.
Oh, right. Yeah, I did recompile to use the location where I have tmpfs
mounted. And jackd --version gives me the same directory.
Only at 48k -
that's all I've got.
Because that's all the sound card will do? It won't run at 44.1K? An idea? Have you tried running an 'all
software' experiment, or 'almost all
software', to understand whether it's really the disk causing this? What
happens if you load up a CD with Alsaplayer and play it, and then patch in
some Jack clients like freqtreak, tapiir, etc., multiple times to create a
lot of Jack traffic, but little or no hard disk traffic? You can create an
arbitrarily complicated setup to maybe explore whether the problem is with
Jack, or possibly with your motherboard, it's memory usage, other
applications that are running. If these work right, but then a disk based
operation fails, you have more info....
Sounds good, I'll try that.
