Well, depends on what problems were you seeing. The patch tries to fix the realtime priority of the client threads. I think you said at some point you were seeing that... Actually the patch as it was posted is wrong (or not completely correct - well, "correct", it is a hack :-) for the same reason I had to do the more convoluted workaround last time something like this happened. There is a small moment at startup of the client in which jack assumes that thread is running realtime when it is not. Then this is "fixed" by the patch but who knows what happens in between... -- Fernando
