okay, thanks for the explanation. I guess I'll learn how to
use a compressor one day. :-)

And thanks for guitarix by the way. It's really an amazing
piece of software. Something like 10 years ago or more I
tried some stuff but miserably failed so I kept going with
this digitech RP3 my ex-guitarist gave me. (Un?)fortunately one of the
knobs is getting old so I tried guitarix. And when I kicked the
strings with guitarix running, man! that was a great moment
of my life! Not for my neighbors I guess, but hell, that was
something. There are issues, like jack refusing to work with
buffers of less than 512 frames (I am not with a rt kernel)
but I'll get around that. Did some people already made sorts
of "minijack?" like implementing a minimal jack lib so that
you can use jack programs without jack? Anyway, I'll make a
little stuff and see how it goes. So many projects and so
little time...

Thanks!
