[PlanetCCRMA] Lost in the backroads..

[Jeff Farr]

Ok, things are looking much better this morning. JackRack starts and things
like the amSynth work now. Muse and Ardour startup as proper and appear to
work as proper so I've got a good selection of programs at my disposal now.
Again, thanks for all the help.
Now, However, my performance is still sub-par. For instance, using a delay
plugin in jack rack with an external synth routed through is very glitchy
and at one point even crashed. asound/cards lists that the delta is on irq16
and /devices shows 16: playback 24: capture. Are these irqs?
