I don't know. I don't recall anyone ever having reported this kind of noise, certainly not within the last year or two of JACK's history. You are talking about a system that is just running jackd, no clients, correct? What audio h/w are we talking about? >Good to know, so I misread the jack spec in the first place because I >was expecting it to do what I wanted to do -- the many machines processor. it *is* intended to connect multiple audio applications together, but the design goals weren't based on each of those applications being on the scale of a buzz machine, or a LADSPA/DSSI plugin. the idea was that applications would host the ".dll level plugins", and JACK would "host" the applications. and it does so rather well, from what we hear. --p
