JACK clients should I can't start jackd with that option even though I can see it loud and clear in the man page as you say. jackd --realtime -d alsa starts up, but jackd --realtime --unlock -d alsa or jackd --realtime -u -d alsa says "unknown option character" and jackd outputs a usage message where both "-u" and "--unlock" are shown as examples. Huh ?! Is my jackd broken ? I installed it through apt-get on my Debian Sarge. Version says 0.99.0. > > I also tried to renice jackd with -20 so it runs > with > > priority 0.
