Jack2 can also run jack clients in parallel (ie: at the same time) when the connection graph between applications allows for that. As it spawns multiple threads for that it can use multiple cores if available. Big win in most current computers (but no problem in single core processors either). Jack2 has been the default in Planet CCRMA for a long time, no major issues I know of. I have been using it myself for my realtime audio performance work. As Orcan suggests, an alternatives system for jack would be great as it would give choice to users. It would also be great if we could better coordinate rt priority settings for jack to better interact with rt patched kernels and the rtirq (or equivalent) script, see this post for my try at summarizing current state: http://ccrma-mail.stanford.edu/pipermail/planetccrma/2009-November/016161.html -- Fernando -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
