if these clients really do call snd_pcm_close() when ffwd'ing, then there must be some mistake in the ALSA JACK plug, because it should close the client down. if they do not call snd_pcm_close() then i am not sure what the ALSA JACK plug might be doing. in short, its a problem with the interaction between the design of these apps and the ALSA JACK plug. JACK clients are supposed to run continuously. these apps don't do that, it appears, and they are triggering some problem with the JACK plug. --p ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials.
