deltnow i'm puzzled.... :? :? i have jackd set to the largest buffer size, with 8 periods/buffer, and i'm still getting really low latency.... qjackctl reports it should be 743 milliseconds02:42
delti even rebooted the whole computer with these new settings to make sure it's not some idle process i forgot to kill or something like that02:42
deltstill getting imperceptible latency, which in my case would be < about 12 ms02:44
deltnot too often someone tries to RAISE latency, but i'm just testing stuff =)02:47
deltweird.... moving my .jackdrc out of the way produces different (but also erratic) results....03:01
deltit looks like qjackctl is not controlling jackd at all. Although, it does write a .jackdrc file with the desired command line, except something's not working.... i need to figure this out03:08
deltmoving that file out of the way, i get a ringing effect, like the buffer size was waaaaay too short...03:11
deltwith xrun count saying "0 (8786)"03:12

delthey, neat trick i just learned - send SIGUSR1 to a dd process to make it output progress info to its stdout!22:21
delti was always under the impression you needed to use a hacked version of 'dd' to get any verbose output, but :D22:22
OvenWerksI think it has been that way for a long time.22:22
deltyeah, i don't know if it's part of the original unix design, or some new linux/freebsd/etc. addition22:23
delti still have an old unix manual lying around somewhere, i should check22:23
deltif i can find it.22:24
deltHA FOUND IT!! This manual dates from 198622:25
deltpublished by AT&T22:25
deltwhoa, i totally forgot i had this!!! Given to me by a teacher when i was in college22:28
deltbecause of my interest in linux/*bsd22:28
OvenWerksThe manual says siginfo works too.22:31
deltOvenWerks: linux manpage? didn't see it22:31
OvenWerksinfo coreutils 'dd invocation'22:31
deltoh... that info thing :/ they should just merge all that 'info' into the manpages22:32
OvenWerksdd is not really a part of Linux so much as the GNU tools which have been around longer than Linux.22:32
delttrue22:33
deltbut still, manpages have always been the standard unix way to document a command/tool/application22:33
deltanyway... gonna try out booting the desktop machine in tango linux, see what it looks like22:34
deltbbl =)22:34
OvenWerksinfo is the extended documentation. I don't know how long it has been around but it was there in 1995 or so when I started looking at Linux/unix22:34
deltheh, you've been a linux user about as long as me22:35
deltanyway bbl22:35
