The the actual browser processing is not RT-safe. There's a buffer (and resampler) in between jack and the sandboxed browser/engine. So web-audio javascript etc is not using elevated privileges, probably a good thing, so it can't take down jack :) > In which ff version is it supposed to be available?

JACK support was merged upstream there: https://github.com/kinetiknz/cubeb The --enable-jack configuration option for FF is still sitting here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=783733 If you can't wait, just compile your own firefox/iceweasel (apt-get build-dep... ; apt-get source...) ciao, robin _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
