Getting JACK to work was relatively easy even back when I first tried it, which must be nearly ten years ago. Since then PA came into the mix, which complicates matters somewhat. Anyway, using ALSA directly is no drawback, as long as you don't need routing or a program that does not support ALSA. Those programs are relatively few, Ardour and maybe a few others require JACK. Firefox will require PA soon and there are a few others, but that's an entirely different story. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
