Which other audio software which handle realtime-audio and realtime-synthesis do you use that work flawlessly with PulseAudio? If you can name even *one* such application, please do, we should all go over their source repository and find out what kind of magic they're using. > This is my general computer for everything, which I happen to be able > to run LMMS on - I don't have the luxury of dedicating a box just to > LMMS. So don't. Regardless, you can't run LMMS, nor any other rt-audio application (Ardour doesn't even have a PA-backend), with a PA-backend and expect it to work decently. Your only options are ALSA or Jack. However, Jack support on LMMS can be a bit glitchy. So your best bet is ALSA, and closing down LMMS whenever you need sound somewhere else. > Even given Pulse is horrible (I dislike it considerably), if > LMMS is triggering problems with it that other apps don't then > everyone else who can't dedicate a box just to LMMS will consider it's > LMMS breaking their system, not Canonical's bad choice in sound > systems. PA is not a bad soundsystem. It's just not designed for realtime audio. It does what it does adequately - it provides sound for desktop, browser, videos etc. It's still not suitable for any kind of realtime audio production software. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Open source business process management suite built on Java and Eclipse Turn processes into business applications with Bonita BPM Community Edition Quickly connect people, data, and systems into organized workflows Winner of BOSSIE, CODIE, OW2 and Gartner awards http://p.sf.net/sfu/Bonitasoft _______________________________________________ LMMS-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/lmms-devel
