not related to zyn, but about soft mode, is this true? I run jack in soft
mode (for live uses) and it still shuts things down if they are too slow,
it just takes a little longer - also if there is an xrun it tends to
result in glitchy audio until I restart everything, is this jack or some
local issue?
