i tried applying the 2.4.20 + ext3 kernel patches located at
http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/ext3/
earlier this week. not only did they not apply properly, but they
screwed up my low-latency and preemptive patches too. luckily, the
errors were so bad that the kernel simply didn't compile. so i think i
will pass on any more kernel-tinkering.
so, back to plan A: with all of your helpful suggestions, i will convert
file systems this eve. the good news so far is that running PD under
Alsa as root with an -rt flag does wonders for the sound [nothing
glitches it up except moving a window on screen], so i predict much Jack
happiness with its own realtime capabilities working right.
[why not run realtime Jack as root? you may ask... on my setup, with the
new shm version of Jack, running it as root makes a logfile in the
/dev/shm directory which not only jams up the Jack/Alsa communication
somehow, but also prevents an ordinary user from starting Jack until
this logfile is removed. don't know if this is the case for any of the
rest of y'all.]
best + thx again everybody for a very informative thread,
derek
