[LAD] jackdbus eating 100% cpu after a while

2013-02-09 Thread Florian Paul Schmidt

Right, I hear you John. But I did look at pro mastering software on Windows, I don't remember any unnecessary restrictions. My message would that I oppose this sort of a sweeping judgment of a whole audio platform. There might be some concrete examples, sure, but if you mean that in general all or
