Thanks Robin. It’s just good to know whether it is or isn’t worth chasing.
I don’t really want to mess about making this happen if it’s new
territory. As a Linux-beginner I stand no chance of achieving what
experts haven’t already achieved.
However, what you said here is interesting:
Why don't you use JACK _only_ for the firewire device? and configure
your music-player to use ALSA (or pulseaudio) on the built-in card?”
Why not indeed! Maybe that’s what my problem boils down to – KXStudio’s
achievement of routing all audio through Jack2 is widely-celebrated, but
perhaps it’s not suitable for a user of my particular requirements. I
wonder whether it’s worth staying with KXStudio if I’m going to do as
you suggest above (I’m also having problems with my Wacom graphics
tablet) or whether there are other benefits of KXStudio that make it
worth sticking by (it sure looks slick). Perhaps I should install
Kubuntu, then add the realtime kernel, FFADO and those audio/graphics
programs necessary for what I do. Opinions?
That's one way. Or I guess install Fedora and add the CCRM repositories.
Or try something like ArtistX, Musix, or one of the :Dyne derivatives
and see how they work. Musix' may not have the most current program
versions, but it is a slickly-done music-focussed distro. I like ArtistX
on my little music laptop, and it includes creative tools for graphics,
video, etc.
I tried KXStudio, but it wouldn't run on my music laptop. Hardware too
old, I guess!
