I posted that message to the JACK list.
Anybody has the same problem?
sbdy at the JACK list said that it disappeared with kernel 2.6.10...
I have not tried this (I'll wait for the package) but I find it strange.

>I first though it was Ardour but then I realised that I could
reproduce it under XMMS with the jack plugin....
When running jackd and using audio applications, after some time (for
example 5minutes but not always the same time), I start listening a
strange noise added to the music, then it stops, it comes again later
but after a lot of time and like this until the end of the world.

>I have recorded this noise, recording the PCM output.
you can download it under the following link:
http://www.upcnet.es/~mvr9/proves/jack_bug.ogg

>note that the noise is not additive, it distorsionates the music
(during the silence between tracks you cannot listen it, even if it
started already in the previous track)

When I hear the noise, if I switch to the ALSA plugin, I can hear the
music OK; but if I switch again to jack it the noise continues. The
noise stops spontaneously after some time (1minute?) independently of
the fact that I listen to music or I don't play anything. When the noise
stops Jack displays in the message window: "**** alsa_pcm: xrun of at
least 0.058 msecs". This is normal?????

>Here there are some specs of my system:

I am running the last version of jackd under Debian testing: 0.99.0-2

with parameters (through qjackctl):
/usr/bin/jackd -R -p60 -t5000 -dalsa -dhw:0 -r44100 -p512 -n2 -S -i1 -o2

(short latency: 23.2ms)

with an audigy card, with a kernel 2.6.8 + realtime module

my fstab is the following one:
maybe this explains why I am the only one (i didn't hear of anyone)
complaining about this bug?

>It's quite annoying because this stops me to use Ardour to play live
music...
Anyone that can help me?

P.D: the music is from the album Wave of Antonio Carlos Jobim :)
