Meaning you get the error about locking all memory, or you do not get
that error and still get xruns?
<SNIP>
jackstart -v -R -d alsa -d hw -p 864
Fernando,
I had wondered how much memory he actually has in this machine? (I
apologize, but I haven't followed all these threads over the holidays and
don't even know for sure who has the problem right now! Is it Joseph?)
Anyway, if physical memory isn't available, then who knows what will happen?
Additionally, I think that some cards have specific buffer size
requirements. I sort of remember some threads from a while ago (some even
written by me!) where users (like me) were having trouble by setting buffer
sizes and period numbers to values that could be supported correctly.
Unfortunately there isn't much (any?) info out there on how to do this
right.
Cheers,
Mark
