My current [Gentoo] Rezound doesn't do this on my PC, but does on my PPC. Also, I remember my CCRMA Rezound acting similar. If that isn't bad enough, you also won't get anything like normal throughput using Rezound + Jack. My typical experience in this way had lots of glitches and awful, repetitive buffering noises. In such a situation, Rezound is totally unreliable for recording with Jack, and its only thinkable use would be to edit samples while in th emiddle of a Jack session. The problem is that Rezound is a very unruley Jack client, and the makers fully acknowledge this. One solution is to put more pressure [in the nicest possibly way] on the Rezound list to make the app fully compatible with Jack. Another problem, which goes hand-in-hand with this, is Audacity's anachronistic dependency on OSS. The new versions of Audacity can do lots of stuff that I otherwise would use Ardour for... namely the ability to load lots of different clips and do my arrangements there. But without Jack, or even ALSA, I don't see myself ever using it as a real sound app in my setup. So Rezound, buggy as it is, remains the main choice. good luck, d.
