Hello list,
Sorry if this is too OT, but I think some people here might have/had the same problem.
The recipe for fun is as follows:
12" Powerbook G4 1.33ghz Presonus firebox Debian testing/Lenny 2.6.22.9 kernel compiled for low latency Jack 0.103.0-6 Hans' Pd-extended 0.39.2-rc5
So far I have managed to get the firebox recognized by jack using Freebob. When I start Jack, the Firebox's light turns blue, and it shows up in the patch window. When I start Pd, I can set it to use Jack as it's interface, and Pd, too, shows up in the patch window.
This sounds like it's working fine, but when I try to open a patch or turn on the DSP in Pd, it hangs indefinitely until I killall pd. Then of course Jack freaks out, and I have to killall jackd too.
I should point out that Pd works fine without Jack, using OSS and the onboard soundcard, but not with ALSA. Starting jack with ALSA and the onboard card gives me A/D/A sync errors.
I hope that somebody here can help out. I'm not a total nub, but this has me stumped. Google's and forum's have turned up no useful info.
Thanks alot,
Cory
