i'll have to try snd-dummy. and yes, it will happen with just jackd alone. however, it will not happen unless jackd is run with SCHED_FIFO. my system has been running for several days now with jackd there the whole time. with SCHED_FIFO, i can't get more than about 10-15 minutes, or so it seemed. the worrying thing here is that the problem may go back further in time, because until qjackctl came along, my default was to run without SCHED_FIFO, whereas with it the "default" is with SCHED_FIFO. this means that SCHED_FIFO operation may not have been tested well enough for quite a while (on my system, i mean). i do know that in further back (months), i've run jackd+ardour with SCHED_FIFO for hours without problems on this system. --p ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by: Free pre-built ASP.NET sites including Data Reports, E-commerce, Portals, and Forums are available now.
