Jack frustrations (now sorted)

[Lump]

So JACK is kinda like ASIO4ALL, in a way? i.e., it just a 'wrapper' that accesses the core input/output of the currently installed sound drivers?

audio4all, but much more as described on www.jackaudio.org :

JACK is a low-latency audio server, written for POSIX conformant operating systems such as GNU/Linux and Apple's OS X. It can connect a number of different applications to an audio device, as well as allowing them to share audio between themselves. Its clients can run in their own processes (ie. as normal applications), or can they can run within the JACK server (ie. as a "plugin").

quote by jorgen:

"I dont get audio dropouts with alsa on Ubuntu when running audio (ALSA/OSS) engine in high-priority, when running in normal-priority I do."

The thing to consider here is Linux and how many people know how to run/configure the app to their needs.

to be scared is an emotion, with the know-how this will disapear. linux is not a monster, it is an OS which is working on million of computers

well, no, fear is an emotion. being scared is a state of being, not the fear itself!

anyway, my post was partly tongue in cheek. i know that suse works great for lots of people. it just didn't work for me, but there are disclaimers and such about that, so it's not like it's anyone's fault.

another thing is, i never know what forum to post in. can i ask questions about installing opensuse in the jacklab forum? can i ask questions about fixing grub in the opensuse forum? i never know where to go, and i don't feel like being subscribed to three forums...
