helm + jackd = "Resetting chip after gpu hang". #201

Hi.

I know how strange it sounds, but that's what I've been observing on one of my laptops with Intel graphics card. If I start helm with jackd running the gpu hangs. Nothing happens for a few seconds and the ui is not reacting to any actions until gpu reset. If there is no jackd running, standalone helm version is working well. I've tried helm 0.9.0 (Archlinux package) and helm-git with Ardour, Carla and standalone version.

On another laptop with Nvidia GPU, no problems at all. Any idea how to get rid of it?

Cheers, W.

One more thing I've just noticed: gpu hangs are gone after switching to jack2 (0.125.0 in Archlinux).
