But please remember that Iam an end user, not a programmer, and that I am very unlikely to befamiliar with anything containing underscores and ending with emptybrackets. It's not just one or two jack clients that don't allow you tochange the buffer size. After googling it seems that ardour (which Ihaven't used for a while) may allow you to do it, but none of the otherjack clients that I know do – not even qjackctl. It also seems, judgingby recent posts, that a few people on this list don't know about thisfeature either. I'm sorry if you thought I was being thoughtless posting what I did. Iknow that jack has great potential and that it already allows you to dosome fantastic things. I want linux audio to succeed. If something ismaking it impossible even for me to work with it then it will certainlybe a big barrier for someone who cares less about free software. That'swhy I believe I should speak up. Jack not working properly is one suchobstacle for me. Unfortunately I also have to say that being told toRTFM is another. This kind of attitude to end users is deeply damaging.Any project that drifts into that way of thinking will fail. Pleasedon't go that route!
