I didn't really learn anything new, except it answered my initial question "can multiple alsa clients at the same time" with the answer "No". I guess my confusion comes from my mon-music friends that run suse/KDE s? they actually *do have* a soundserver (arts) running. Since csound5 is not yet a jack-client (and csound is my main, main, main application), I'll wait for a jack-enabled csound before throwing myself into jack. -- peace, love & harmony Atte http://www.atte.dk
