replacing Linux jackd #13

Closed ghost closed 11 years ago

ghost commented 11 years ago

Using jackd in linux is not a pleasant experience. Crashes and not being able to start it is common. Is there maybe a possibility to change to something else or would that require a change on a "lower" level?

albertz commented 11 years ago

MusicPlayer uses PortAudio. PortAudio is a thin layer which supports various different backends.

PortAudio, afaik, should just use ALSA. There seem to be something up with your system. Maybe you have some Jackd-ALSA bridged installed or so? Or you have some custom PortAudio?

Is this up-to-date? Anyway, this is not related to this project but to PortAudio or so. Or probably more your custom Linux installation or Linux distribution. So I'll close this one now.
