For what it's worth; Jack on Windows is used for providing sound in two permanent art installations (http://www.intravisiongroup.com/). One of them has been running for over two years now. The machines are rebooted each night, and the oldest one is still using a version of jack for windows released in 2007. We've had no problem with jack for windows. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-dev
