Come on! Tou're one of the very few on this list to write about personal issues or take things personally. Individual character, personal influence and style is a nice icing on the cake (das i-Tüpfelchen); but you do really succeed to write all your emails in a way so that they are not about Linux-Audio but about Ralf-Mardorf. This email is a prime example: Go and write a blog! X11/stroboscope effects, German TV.. whatever has nothing to do with linux-audio nor with real-time preempt kernels. - sure getting side-tracked a bit with some off-topic emails is interesting and fun, but this reply of yours is IMHO [yet again] one too much (and neither interesting nor fun). Apparently you either did not read it or it has not sunken in; so let me again point you to http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html thanks, robin root. PS. Sorry if this may seem a bit rude; but it's not the first time nor the second or third time we went down this road; so I don't feel bad posting it to the list. PPS. How's you qjackctl/jack setup doing? _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
