I'm kind of pressed for time with several projects at the moment. Sorry I

didn't do this earlier. When I get the chance, I'll reinstall the older

version of jack1 and run the tests again with the output of that command.

We'll see, but I'm pretty sure there's no reason that Alsa would arbitrarily

change the buffer settings and such that PianoTeq requests in their config

dialog.

I'd don't know about JACK Session. Is it

http://sourceforge.net/projects/jacksm/ ? If so, that's also a GUI.

http://ardour.org/a3_features_jack_session_support is the first Google link

that I get for the search term "JACK Session" and it looks like something

built into things like QJackctl...are you saying it's actually a CL tool as

well?

would it be so hard to just run that very simple command i asked

about? you have absolutely no guarantee that the parameters presented

by Pianoteq translate directly into ALSA driver parameters, though

they probably do. i gave you a very, very simple way to make sure of

this but we still seem to be arguing about whether to run it or not.
