I now have a similar problem running it on ubuntu 12.04.

I appreciate I must be extremely stupid, or illiterate, or too old,
or.... (insert insult as required) but could the instructions be a
little clearer?  It may be that the info is in this thread somewhere,
but I've failed to find it.

So for instance

- what rate values are we meant to use, for, say 96000 Hz?  96 or 96000
or even 96,000?
- I can't get the -p option to do a thing.  I'm very confused about
linux priorities which some seem to say go from -20 to + 20.  If 1 to
99, what's the highest?  I've worked on systems where 99 was high and 1
was low.  What's intended here, and how do I get ubuntu to take any
notice (at least system monitor insists the priority is normal in all
cases)?
- if I'm still having problems where do I start with buffers and alsa
options?  

Help?
