Aha, specifically: http://lmms.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Troubleshooting#I_get_lots_of_latency_.28lag.29_when_playing_instruments_in_LMMS I did this once, closed and reopened LMMS (current git master) and it came up with "dummy", no output device. I set it again, closed and restarted LMMS and it worked! Unfortunately, no other application can play sound now, until I shut LMMS. And if I start LMMS again while any other application that produces sound is running, then LMMS comes up with "dummy" as the output device again. So, much like using JACK was: this is a "solution" that completely fails to play nice with anything else. I do have cause to listen to things while doing things in LMMS ... Is there a solution such that LMMS will actually play well with other things? >But please be careful before blaming LMMS.

Linux sound has always been a utter, utter disaster. Every now and then someone writes a new Linux sound architecture that solves some of the previous problems and introduces new ones. Pulse is just the latest attempt. - d. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 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
