Same here...

The Jack package mounts the temporary directory in ram, if that is what
you mean. I would not imagine this has any influence in what rezound can
or cannot record, this is internal to jack.

Most probably ask other rezound users (I don't know if there is a list),
I don't think this is a jack problem. From what the record dialog says
it would seem it can only record what can fit in memory...

I got one zombified message but the application (rezound) kept working
(ie: if I disconnect things in qjackctl then the level meters stop
showing stuff). If you fire up top in a terminal as I did you will see
the "free memory" number going down as rezound records.
