Folks, I'm running pulseaudio 0.9.21.1, jack 3.1.1 and jack-audio-connection-kit 0.109.2-r1, on a gentoo system: 2.6.31-gentoo-r10 #2 SMP PREEMPT Sun Apr 11 21:15:42 MDT 2010 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q9300 @ 2.50GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux 8 gigs of ddr3 ram I can get pulseaudio feeding into jack with success. In gnome my pulseaudio volume control displays "Jack Sink (PulseAudio JACK Sink)" and i can route sound into ardour, so i know they are both working. However, it's not working as well as i would like. I much prefer the sound of the "resample-method= src-sinc-best-quality" setting over the default. However, when i select the src-sinc-best-quality method in /etc/pulse/daemon.conf jack times out (the output is below). I would like to have jack and pulse audio working with the best sync method. Anyone know where to start? Thanks for the help folks, Bearcat killall pulseaudio && jackd -R -d alsa & [1] 1323 bearcat at clowder ~ $ jackd 0.109.2 Copyright 2001-2005 Paul Davis and others. jackd comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it under certain conditions; see the file COPYING for details JACK compiled with System V SHM support. loading driver .. creating alsa driver ... hw:0|hw:0|1024|2|48000|0|0|nomon|swmeter|-| 32bit control device hw:0 configuring for 48000Hz, period = 1024 frames (21.3 ms), buffer = 2 periods ALSA: final selected sample format for capture: 32bit little-endian ALSA: use 2 periods for capture ALSA: final selected sample format for playback: 32bit little-endian ALSA: use 2 periods for playback subgraph starting at PulseAudio JACK Source timed out (subgraph_wait_fd=12, status = 0, state = Running) jackd watchdog: timeout - killing jackd
