Even though it has been fixed now, its effects will linger on for at least another year, perhaps even more. its a very frustrating thing for me as a JACK developer to see different people bumping into this over and over again, a situation that makes it appear that JACK has design problems when all it really suffers from is a package design error. --p _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/linux-audio-user
