ah, no, I didn't understand what periods were, I guess, so I didn't try
that option. 48k appears to bethe default sampling rate, but -n3 fixes
the problem -- in fact there are no xruns at all once I add that switch.
yay! I do get a message in jackd:
delay of 20690.000 usecs exceeds estimated spare time of 20672.000;
restart ...

but no errors as a result. so htanks to everyone!

So now ardour works great. strangely, though, traverso produces no
sound at all with the jackd driver. Not sure whether that was the case
before and I was just remembering things wrong when I sent that last
email... Anyway wondered whether anyone else had experienced that and
whow they'd fixed it.

also wondering if there's a general guide to integrating jack into the
everyday running of my laptop, hwich I use for lots of stuff besides
digital editing -- all kinds of writing and research, and also just
playing tunes. would be nice not to have to start and stop jack every
time I want to use amarok... but that's more of a wishlist item really.
thanks again,

matt
