Hi I have strange problem: half the time when I load a song the sound is heavily distorted. If I leave jack running, kill all sound generating apps, and load them again, the sound might or might not be distorted. I found that the more apps and the lower the latency I have the more likely is the problem to occur. So to me it seems like some kind of racing condition that screws up jack, and hope there is a cure... Here's one of the scripts that I use to load a song: #!/bin/bash specimen --clientname main meditation.beef & zynaddsubfx -r 44100 -l meditation.xmz & sleep 2 ardour meditation/meditation.ardour & muse meditation.med & read killall specimen killall zynaddsubfx killall ardour killall muse -- peace, love & harmony Atte http://www.atte.dk | quintet: http://www.anagrammer.dk | compositions: http://www.atte.dk/compositions
