I'd figure it should be above soundcard irq, too, just to be safe. I don't know enough about the internals of how and if priority is inherited by threads waiting for IRQ's. The previous posts were also all about midi routing from different apps on the same machine. I do not know how sending/receiving MIDI to physical ports is handled. Maybe the soundcard IRQ does play a role here. But a higher prio thread waiting for a lower prio IRQ will not really cause any troubles from my understanding (it will just work). > How will having several sound/midi cards fit into this scheme? Well, to get several audio cards working you will need to get them to work in a single jack server first, so the part about the jack priority setup still holds. Then again just put all midi stuff again at the higher prios. I don't see much changing here. Flo -- Palimm Palimm! http://tapas.affenbande.org
