[02:42] <delt> now 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 milliseconds
[02:42] <delt> i 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 that
[02:44] <delt> still getting imperceptible latency, which in my case would be < about 12 ms
[02:47] <delt> not too often someone tries to RAISE latency, but i'm just testing stuff =)
[03:01] <delt> weird.... moving my .jackdrc out of the way produces different (but also erratic) results....
[03:08] <delt> it 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 out
[03:11] <delt> moving that file out of the way, i get a ringing effect, like the buffer size was waaaaay too short...
[03:12] <delt> with xrun count saying "0 (8786)"
[04:27] <bimbo_> ?
[05:20] <delt> hello cfhowlett
[05:20] <delt> how are you?
[05:21] <cfhowlett> delt, greetings
[05:23] <delt> cfhowlett: do you use midi keyboards and/or production audio apps?
[05:23] <cfhowlett> delt, nope.  sorry.
[05:23] <cfhowlett> delt, #opensourcemusicians
[05:23] <delt> cfhowlett: thanks
[05:24] <cfhowlett> delt, happy2help!
[12:24] <scott_> great job on latest lts release, love it
[22:21] <delt> hey, neat trick i just learned - send SIGUSR1 to a dd process to make it output progress info to its stdout!
[22:22] <delt> i was always under the impression you needed to use a hacked version of 'dd' to get any verbose output, but :D
[22:22] <OvenWerks> I think it has been that way for a long time.
[22:23] <delt> yeah, i don't know if it's part of the original unix design, or some new linux/freebsd/etc. addition
[22:23] <delt> i still have an old unix manual lying around somewhere, i should check
[22:24] <delt> if i can find it.
[22:25] <delt> HA FOUND IT!! This manual dates from 1986
[22:25] <delt> published by AT&T
[22:28] <delt> whoa, i totally forgot i had this!!! Given to me by a teacher when i was in college
[22:28] <delt> because of my interest in linux/*bsd
[22:31] <OvenWerks> The manual says siginfo works too.
[22:31] <delt> OvenWerks: linux manpage? didn't see it
[22:31] <OvenWerks> info coreutils 'dd invocation'
[22:32] <delt> oh... that info thing :/ they should just merge all that 'info' into the manpages
[22:32] <OvenWerks> dd is not really a part of Linux so much as the GNU tools which have been around longer than Linux.
[22:33] <delt> true
[22:33] <delt> but still, manpages have always been the standard unix way to document a command/tool/application
[22:34] <delt> anyway... gonna try out booting the desktop machine in tango linux, see what it looks like
[22:34] <delt> bbl =)
[22:34] <OvenWerks> info 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/unix
[22:35] <delt> heh, you've been a linux user about as long as me
[22:35] <delt> anyway bbl
