Hi all, Just wanted to report a working configuration. I've built an audio logger on a P4 machine with an Edirol FA-101, and it seems to be doing its thing well enough. AVLinux 5.0, Rotter, and Jack are working like this: I installed AVLinux on the aforementioned box, then installed Rotter from the repos. I edited one of the autolaunch scripts so that six instances of Rotter are launched when I log in. I edited /etc/slim.conf so that I am automatically logged in upon reboot. I defined a patchbay in Qjackctl so that audio is routed from individual physical inputs to each instance of Rotter (one channel per instance), and is looped through to the output with the same number so that I can monitor with a Q-box (portable speaker). I added a cron job, as root, so that the machine reboots every few hours (this is just a remedy for Rotter crashing after 12 hours or so; still can't fix it, eaux whell). This system writes mono flac files, and puts the files from each input into its own directory. So far it has been going for about a week and a half, no problems. Many thanks to all on this list for advice, info, and moral support. -Steiny (415)819-2009
