Brett,
I lost track of what your final answer in this email was answering.
.9x for Ardour or .9x for Jack or qjackctl?
Also, I do presume that you are running at least 0.9.6 for Alsa, 0.8
for jack, and something close to whatever the Ardour page says the
newest release is
Sorry - too many versions <G>: .9x for Ardour, jack is .80, alsa .97 (actually whatever the latest unmasked ebuild which is .97 I believe.

1. That clears that up. I have another problem then. I didn't know about real time as root.
There is a capabilities patch in the PlanetCCRMA kernel that allows
At this point I'm using the xfs-sources.
I used jackd -v -d alsa -d hw:0. Jackstart doesn't exist on the Gentoo install. I thought I'd get it working, then try other features.
To run jack there are a number of options:
jackd -d alsa -d hw
jackd -r -d alsa -d hw (real-time, as root)
jackstart -r -d alsa -d hw (real-time as user) jackd -d alsa -r 44100 -d hw (44.1K for CD audio)
jackd -v -d alsa -d hw (verbose messages)
Thee are more options like buffer numbers and buffer size if you need
them.
Later - my head hurts now <G>!
2. I'll check the tmpfs. My Gentoo is setup with whatever is standard and I don't remember what's in tmpfs right now.
I think this just effects how many xruns you'll get and not whether it
works. My tmpfs settings are just Gentoo standard also, but I'm using a
sound card that costs as much as the PC it's in, so it's better behaved
than a Sound Blaster.
I'll cross the xruns bridge later but I'll check the fstab. Right now I have CMedia built in due to the fact I was out of slots. However, when I free one up I'll put in my Turtle Beach Santa Cruz. I'd like to have one that cost more than the PC (it's a dual AMD 1.9 with SCSI RAID 5 - 6 drives, 5 in RAID,1 hot spare) <G>! I was looking at getting a Delta 44 or 66 but I have to forgo that for now.
Good luck! I'm surprised you went with Ardour, vs. ReZound or Audacity.
Actually I'm still testing. I merged Audacity and Ardour, did some work in Audacity (recorded an Ogg file from a CD track) and am now playing with Ardour. I looked at the ReZound site and one other you mentioned in your email (can't remember the name) also and will probably try them, too. Ardour looks real cool - like a real system.
Thanks again.
