If you have applications that are running in a 32bit chroot can they communicate with other applications in 64bit mode? Lets say you have jackd and rosegarden running in 64bit mode. Can I connect to lets say Fluidsynth or ZynaddSubFX in a 32bit chroot? I also wonder about price/performance ratio and ease of administration. Ignoring the fact that it make take a little extra work to get everything to run smoothly do you find that the performace is worth the price of x86-64 compared to say athlon xp? Is there a big boost in performance in most audio applications. I most frequently use csound, rosegarden, Fluidsynth, Lilypond, and audacity. Thanks, Jeremiah
