I would recommend doing this. Also in s_inter.c try to change this line in sys_set_priority: p3 = (higher ? p2 - 1 : p2 - 3); to be that: // p3 = (higher ? p2 - 1 : p2 - 3); p3 = (higher ? p1 + 3 : p1 + 1); instead, and in s_audio_jack.c find (around line 60) this: } else { /* PD could not keep up ! */ if (jack_started) sys_log_error(ERR_RESYNC); and throw out the sys_log_error like: } else { /* PD could not keep up ! */ // don't call log_error in jack process: // if (jack_started) sys_log_error(ERR_RESYNC); then recompile. This once did wonders here for letting Pd coexist with Jack. ciao -- Frank Barknecht _ ______footils.org__
