What gives me headaches is that the standard DeMuDi Live-CD or a clean install of it give me the same lags as with my 'Sarge' with additional kernel/packages from the Agnula repos... >>No .asoundrc (maybe that is the cause?); jackd is started with -R -d >>alsa or with jackstart from qjackctl. > > It's worth making a ~/.asoundrc - I doubt whether that's the cause though.

And the USB ports on that particular ASUS laptop are used for a Logitech mouse (because I hate these touchpads) and the MidiSport 2x2 interface to get in my MIDI events and to get them out to the Sound Canvas again, which actually plays the whole stuff. > cheers, > > tim hall > http://glastonburymusic.org.uk BTW: I like your 'samsara' song. cheers, wjl - -- Key ID 0x728d9bd0 - public key available at wwwkeys.de.pgp.net Honda NTV '94 still running on fuel - everything else here runs Debian GNU/Linux -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFC5J4UqrjTanKNm9ARAjyWAJ9MhUFTRHhnD5ctdBxceGj9rk4Z5wCaAvKr gzWfaNaenSCilCsC7W5tPPc= =ERQJ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
