Hi. Does anyone else experience very slow responses from Alsa-Devel? I sent this email this morning at 9:16AM this morning and it just arrived back here and at my home account at 1:30PM. Most other reflectors I'm on normally have round trip times of just a minute or two. Alsa-devel is always so slow, usually taking hours.
At lunch today I rewired my MIDI input from the keyboard controller to use the MidiSport input instead of the HDSP 9652 input. In this configuration, with only about 15 minutes of testing, I had no problems. I will do more testing this evening, but possibly this data says it's an HDSP 9652 MIDI problem, or the HDSP 9652 MIDI combined with Jack-type audio, and not specifically 'Alsa MIDI'. With this set of connections: aconnect 80:0 64:0 aconnect 80:0 64:32 aconnect 80:0 80:0 aconnect 80:0 80:1 aconnect 80:1 64:0 aconnect 80:1 64:32 aconnect 80:1 80:0 aconnect 80:1 80:1 aconnect 80:1 130:0 I had no immediate problems driving zynaddsubfx on 130:0. (I think it was 130:0) Cheers, Mark > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Mark Knecht > Sent: Wednesday, September 10, 2003 9:16 AM > To: Alsa-Devel > Subject: [Alsa-devel] MIDI getting killed by Jack? > > > Hi, > I posted this last night on LAU but received no responses.
