Yes, XMMS is working fine.  Actually, I'm not getting any sound
from Alsaplayer, though XMMS is supposedly using the XMMS-JACK
driver.  The output I pasted is from qjackctl with verbose turned
on, though when I run jackd I get the same output.  I've tried
messing around with various Jack settings, but nothing seems to make
any difference.  What's puzzling is that it appears to be working
until it says "Could not connect to JACK server as client".  Could
it have something to do with Alsa not being configured properly?
<br><br>I'm sure this is typical of the Linux world, but there seems
to be a lot of obsolete information that comes up on Google
searches.&nbsp; It would be nice if things came down after a few
years... for instance, the mini Alsa HOWTO posted on the alsa wiki site
<a href="http://alsa.opensrc.org" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">alsa.opensrc.org</a>
is from 1999... I think probably a lot has changed in the last 7
years!&nbsp; I would like to contribute some time to keeping these
things up to date, but I don't feel that I have the expertise just
yet.&nbsp; Certainly once I can reimage a low-latency machine with jack
&amp; alsa working right away I'm going to be paying back for all the
help I've received over the years!

Is XMMS with the JACK output driver working for you? That's my standard
JACK test...but...if qjackctl isn't working...I doubt the problem is
with Pd. Sounds more like a problem&nbsp; with jackd. When messing with JACK
initially, I always find it easiest to run jackd or jackstart from
qjackctl. Easier to debug what is going on.<br>
<br>
Is the output below from jackd or qjackctl? Whatever it is...it isn't
happy. That's the place to start.<br>

  <br>
Sorry to be a drag here, but I've been scratching my head on this for
several days now.&nbsp; I'm trying to coordinate pd, alsa, and jack on
ubuntu (actually demudi multimedia kernel 2.6.12 in ubuntu) and I've
got a number of symptoms here, but I've not been able to diagnose
what's going on:<br>
  <br>
- not getting any sound from pd; pd doesn't recognize any devices<br>
- pd's Media menu lists 'OSS', 'ALSA', and 'Jack'<br>
- compiled pd 0.39-2 with --enable-alsa --enable-jack<br>
- alsa seems to be installed fine, alsamixer works, cds play in
alsaplayer<br>
- qjackctl will not connect to jack server as client - but jack appears
to start fine (?):<br>
  <br>
