i'd like to take an informal survey. is it true that you can do no serious work with puredata using the jack audio server for linux and mac os x?
no, i have no major problems with jack (jackd 0.100.0) & pd (0.39-2) on linux (ubuntu dapper), using a m-audio 2496 soundcard. though i get clicks and crackles (and pd dio erros) when the latency is set quite low, and the pd-patch uses a lot of gui elements, or when i drag windows etc. (afaik this is more a general problem of the pd gui). when recording i set the latency to soemthing about 20 ms to be on the safe side. i do not use much other software at the same time, only pd, mhwave for recording and eventually seq24. (or jamin & mhwave, without pd)
another strange problem with jack: after running qemu or dosbox, i get the "delay exceeds estimated spare time" messages when jack runs in realtime mode, but only about every 3rd oe 2nd time. the only solution i have found so far is to reboot. (that feels very win95 ;-))
bis denn! martin
