Coming back to a previous thread I started, having compiled pd with jack,
having done the realtime scheduling in jack, opening pd with '-jack' and
'-rt' I still get some audio drop outs. The sound actually stops for a few
ms, or even about a second, then comes back.
>From the previous thread I was told that probably jack is waiting for
samples that pd doesn't provide at certain moments. I went through jack's
manual, but it is a manual for programmers and I'm not one, so I didn't
make much of it.
The only thing I found in jack's FAQ is a question about audio with jack on
a macbook (I'm on a macbook with ubuntu) that mentions a drivers problem
that distorts the output http://jackaudio.org/macbook_distortion
but my output is not distorted...
I also tried to start up jack like this $ jackd -d firewire -d NVidia
but it really didn't make any difference (why should it? it uses the same
sound card with or without  '-d NVidia'). Also used QjackCtl to change the
block size, but also didn't work.
Dunno if this message in jack's terminal says something about the situation:
JackEngine::XRun: client = pure_data_0 was not run: state = 2
JackAudioDriver::ProcessGraphAsyncMaster: Process error

It appears whenever I open pd with '-jack'
I'm on a macbook 5,2 with ubuntu 12.04 and pd-0.45-4
Can anyone help?
