[13:02] <qclibre> wondering if the fact I'm running on top of a generic ubuntu is part of the problems I have been seeing (gnome desktop, pulseaudio on top, etc). With that in mind, anyone know if US-11.10 will be ardour3-based? If so, I might start testing the daily snapshots...
[18:51] <holstein> qclibre: hey
[18:51] <holstein> check #opensourcemusicians if the traffic here is too slow
[18:51] <holstein> we will have ardour3 as soon as it gets stabel and trickles in
[18:51] <holstein> i would say that will be 12.04
[18:52] <holstein> theres a testing repo for KXstudio that has A3 in it... an easy-to-add PPA :)
[18:52] <holstein> qclibre: i would say, ubuntu = ubuntustudio
[18:52] <holstein> not sure what problems you are having with pulse audio, but i would try #ubuntu or #ubuntu-beginners for that
[18:52] <holstein> we deal mostly with JACK here, and creating media
[18:53] <holstein> however, feel free to elaborate on the issues you are experiencing
[18:53]  * holstein is on the run again... BBL
[18:53] <qclibre> holstein: thanks - just catching up with your messages
[18:53] <holstein> qclibre: :/ ...wish i could say
[18:54] <holstein> stay*
[18:55] <qclibre> the problem I was seeing was when routing jack in a particular way with the ardour3 alpha10 was that everything crashed - ie. ardour3, jackd, etc. It (ardour3) already warns that the jack version is a little old, but after searching for other reports, I get the impression that it may be specific to the fact I'm running a regular ubuntu desktop rather than the ubuntustudio defaults (ie. jack is run via "pasuspend" I think)
[18:57] <qclibre> my first thought was to try and build my own version of jack (with debugging if possible) and launch everything from a console, perhaps under gdb. But I doubt that will stop pulseaudio or any other gnome/ubuntu stuff from linking and running with old jack libs, so I suspect this would be a gigantic waste of time.
[18:59] <qclibre> hence my question about running the 11.10 test snapshots. This all started because I'm holding out for ardour3, I need Tthe
[18:59] <qclibre> oops, I need The New DAW(tm) for midi+audio support, can't wait.
