[PlanetCCRMA] audacity cursor problem

[sara lidgey]

Hello,
 
 I have the same cursor scrolling problem with audacity.  I am using the OSS driver right now.  On my laptop, I can switch to the "ALSA VIA 8237: VIA 8237 (hw:0,0)" driver and the problem goes away.  But on my desktop machine that uses a Soundblaster Live card, when I switch to the ALSA driver I get the error "error while opening sound device: Please check the input device setting and the project sample rate."  Is there a way I can test ALSA to see if I have it working properly?
 Any ideas on what is going on?
 I'm also running Fedora Core 4 with the CCRMA kernel.
 Thanks!
 S.

The Linux version sort of does work with Jack (at least the one at
Planet CCRMA). It is not a proper citizen in the Jack world, you need to
enter the preferences dialog to set it to use jack _and_ you have to
have jack and the clients you want discovered running before you do that
(so you can choose which one to connect to - it won't autodiscover and
won't do anything dynamically after you set it).
