Ok I have made some tests
First test :
priority : 65
frame/period : 4096
Test OK !! :)
Second test :
Priority : 65
Frame/period : 512
It cracks !
Last test :
Priority : 65
Frame / period : 1024
Test OK !!
A friend of mine just tell me that my pd patch works find with his config, and freebob : no cracks !
What, in your mind, could be the problem ? software ? hardware ?
on my gentoo I have compiled my own kernel (2.6.25.4-rt5). But on the open suse I took the one from Jacklab (2.6.22.13)

Hi,
I've got a strange behaviour with my midi controller and/or
freebob/ffado.
I made a pure data patch, with a midi learn function. So I can
control everything with my midi controller.
When I use jack with Freebob or ffado (I tested both) and a
Presonus Firebox, I got cracking sounds every time I move
faders, pots from my Midi Controler.
When I use jack with alsa and a poor usb berhinger UCA202 it
works perfectly : no cracking sounds
Is your midi controller attached to the Presonus box or is it a USB
midi controller?
I tried with USB and directly attached to the Presonus. My controller is a Korg microKontrol, but I tried with another controller too (an EMU I think)
I also tried with Jackd and Jackdmp , cause I am on Gentoo 64bits.
Strange...does it happen with higher buffer sizes too?
What settings do you use for jackd?
My settings are :
/usr/bin/jackd -R -dfirewire -r48000 -p256 -n3
try increasing the priority of jackd to 65:
/usr/bin/jackd -R -P65 -dfirewire -r48000 -p256 -n3
I suspect that it has something to do with the kernel layer since it's present in both freebob and ffado.
