Per the JACK docs, you must not allocate memory in this callback. If the system takes too long to allocate the memory, you will get the 'zombification error.' The user can sometimes work around the issue by setting a larger frames-per-period setting (the -p parameter for most jack audio drivers). -gabriel _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
