Note that the problem is also there when running straight to alsa.
Sometimes I would actually preffer that, for instance with chuck. But
using alsa leaves me without control over the problem. Since (as stated
below) the problem is *never* there on the first run of chuck after
restarting jack through qjackctl, my solution with chuck is to start
qjackctl in the beginning of my chuck-loading bash script and killall it
at the end. Since I'm using chuck live I have to do this dance, as it's
naturally totally unacceptable to have the problem, however rarely, in
front of an audience.
> - can you record the distortion ?
Yes, I put them here:
http://atte.dk/download/chuck_ok.mp3
http://atte.dk/download/chuck_dist.mp3
http://atte.dk/download/ext2_ok.mp3
http://atte.dk/download/ext2_dist.mp3
They are all recorded with my edirol r09, simply recording what's coming
out of my speakers, so the sound quality is not that great. All files
are the same tune.
The first two are with chuck (first one without the problem, second with
the distortion problem), the last two are with energyXT (again first one
without the problem, second with the distortion problem).
Comparing the two clients, chuck and energyXT:
Chuck seems to be really bad at this, almost no matter what I do. Larger
projects (more to load, heavy cpu load) makes is more often. Restarting
jack from qjackctl *always* makes the problem go away the first time I
start chuck, but consecutive runs of chuck start to be infected.
EnergyXT almost never does this on light cpu loads. When the cpu load of
a project get's heavier loading that particular project increases the
chance of getting the problem. It seems that if the problem has once
been caused by energyXT, it will stay distorted (even if
closing/restarting energyXT also with a lighter project) until I restart
jack.

No xruns.
