[linux-audio-user] Using DeMuDi

[derek holzer]

Michal,

as Guenter Geiger pointed out on the PD list a little while ago, Jack 
has gone through a lot of changes in the past few months. one of them is 
this shm thing. the no-running-as-root thing is Demudi specific. so, as 
the old sayin' says, if it ain't broke, don't fix it! i guess this 
shouldn't be much of problem if you compile all your jack-aware apps 
yourself, and haven't gone for any really new versions. but maybe the 
latest CVS versions of PD would need this new Jack. dunno know for sure, 
as i am not a devloper :-)

I'm not 'running' demudi, only a few items including the kernel (2.4.18-586-demudi installed _long_ time ago) but things like alsa + jack and many others I compile myself.  I run jack as root (it doesn't allow me run with -R) and /dev/shm in fact gets filled with some stuff but it cleans up afterwards...  Maybe I didn't run it long enough?  What am I doing wrong? :)
