It might be good to raise your ohci1394 interrupt to a level higher than 
all non-critical things. This includes e.g. video card and USB stuff. 
Raising the period size should help too if irq priority is the issue.

should work fine.

ok, normally the defaults of qjackctl are sane.


Does the same problem also occur with other software? e.g. audio 
playback using aqualung or hydrogen output?
