Hi -

I don't have firewire kit to test, I'm afraid, but maybe you could try
running the "latencytop" program (not installed by default, but
available in the repos) to detect the source of the xruns?

It could be a question of IRQ priorities I imagine.

hi Dan
thanks for the tip
here is the output of latencytop while running sc (135 xruns after a few minutes with cpu at 35%...):

I'm not sure to understand this I'm afraid...

ps: I had only jack, scel and xterm running
pps: is there still Leek and Potato on a server somewhere so I could do tests with it also ?
