Thanks. the code in the ALSA backend suffers from terrible jitter because of incorrect design. the a2jmidi codebase is the only thing that gets this right; ironically, in its original incarnation, it had 3 executables (j2a, a2j and a2jmidid), and only the two simple ones got the design right. a couple of years i worked on fixing up a2jmidid so that it now has zero jitter (constant 1 period latency). eventually the plan is to rip the existing ALSA backend code out, and replace it with something like an internal JACK client based on a2jmidid. --p _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
