Pooh, I doubt that Pd with Jack will run for 4 weeks. But would be worth a try. But Derek, why not record Pd's output from inside Pd, using the writesf~ object or the oggwrite~ external? I do this all the time and it's vry reliable. You could use Pd's internal timer or some other magic instead of cron. I think, there also are some time externals that use the standard C time.h functions. The other solution might be some asoundrc magic with route, dshare, file or similar plugins, as Steve proposed. Or use a cable connecting in- and outputs in hardware. ciao -- Frank Barknecht _ ______footils.org__
