Hi everyone,
I'm quite new to linux (and linux-audio) and have some basic questions
regarding the audio tools on linux.
I'm running Mandrake 9.0 with a patched 2.4.20 kernel and finally
managed to install most of the applications I need (thanks to Thac's
RPMs !!), mainly alsa, jack, ecasound, Muse, rosegarden, some
soft-synth, did not try ardour yet ;-). I think I still need to enable
capabilities in the kernel for jack, but I try to do things one by one.
When reading articles on low-latency linux, xruns are often mentionned
but I can not figure what it exactly means, could someone explain me
that -surely- simple thing ?
The other question is about jack. Does Jack enable synchronisation
between HD recorder (ecasound, ardour) and midi sequencer (Muse for
example) ? I saw something about the transport feature of jack, but does
not know exactly what it does.
Many Thank,
Christophe
