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?
