Hi Christoph - yes, that was the gui I was working on. Jack wont start for some reason from the CLI (I don't know why) Here is a transcript of the session attempt to start jackd audacity ~ # jackd -dalsa jackd 0.99.0 Copyright 2001-2003 Paul Davis and others. jackd comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it under certain conditions; see the file COPYING for details JACK compiled with System V SHM support loading driver .. creating alsa driver ... hw:0|hw:0|1024|2|48000|0|0|nomon|swmeter|-|32bit control device hw:0 configuring for 48000Hz, period = 1024 frames, buffer = 2 periods Couldn't open hw:0 for 32bit samples trying 24bit instead Couldn't open hw:0 for 24bit samples trying 16bit instead ALSA: cannot set number of periods to 2 for capture ALSA: cannot configure capture channel cannot load driver module alsa audacity ~ # I really don't know what the problem is, as ALSA works fine, its in use with audacity. Any pointers you can provide would be great, Sadly, it turns out that ardour does not have the one specific functionality that I needed, but it may be useful anyway, and I would like to play with it.
