I can't believe I actually did this. 20 minutes sine tone out of jaaa into 4 ardour tracks and then another pass with 4 tracks recording from the first 4: No clicks, no glitches. And I'll be hearing 300hz for the rest of the week. This must be Dick Cheney's idea of Good Clean Fun. Versions here are contemporary: Ardour/GTK 2.0.5 (built using 2234 and GCC version 4.2.1) and jackd 0.103.0 and opensuse 2.6.22.3-7-bigsmp kernel with CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY, mind you. I haven't encountered your problems with different hardware and former versions either. > Do you see any clicks ?
