The last time I tried jack (this was on debian about a year back) my sound stopped working. Of course Ive not idea how to use jack so Im not complaining. If you could tell me what packages to try Ill try and see. Also (if some such thing is there) I would very much like to see something about linux sound architecture. IOW jack, pulse and esd all seem to be 'servers' of some sort and (from what you say) jack seems to work well with pulse but pulse and esd are an either-or. So whats the bigger picture of all this. > > _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
