Is not insecure to run jack via allcaps=1? Only a little. But, you don't need it if you run `jackd' instead. > Anyway, with the 2.6 series I've got a lot of xruns.

Yes, set LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.19 in your environment for the JACK server and every client process. Easiest way is to set it globally. I'm working on an update to the JACK FAQ to cover this. The current draft version is here... http://www.joq.us/jack/www/docs/faq.php#a52 Comments, clarifications and corrections are welcome. Soon I will post it to the JACK website. -- joq
