It takes quite some work to design an audio application that will be realtime safe. Multimedia players don't bother (why should they ?) thus they can't be good jack clients (although, some of them are, but it's not a prerequisite for a player). This doesn't prevent them from being (eventually) good pulseaudio client. If you wish to see one day every Linux desktop PC with realtime audio working right just to play an simple audio file... You'll have to wait quite a long time :-p __________________ Marc-Olivier Barre, MarcO'Chapeau. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-dev mailing list Linux-audio-dev@lists.linuxaudio.org http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-dev
