Their standard "kernel-desktop" package works well for me with jack 2 and RME Digi96/8 Pro. However, recently there were two odd issues, apparently triggered by some updates (I used the KDE4 "opensuse factory" packages, which change very often): * ardour and other LV2 hosting apps stopped starting (sigsegv in a call to slv2_world_load_all). The reason was a wrong .so version of /usr/lib/librasqal.so, namely the link librasqal.so -> librasqal.so.1 After changing this to librasqal.so -> librasqal.so.2 this worked again. * very strange behavior of jack 1 (0.116.2) - oscillating CPU load between 40 and 99 % for a moderate ardour session. after switching to jack 1.9.5. (obs://build.opensuse.org/multimedia:libs) it's OK again: constant 14% load for the same ardour session. -- Markus _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
