Hi Ge, My current Linux system is still Fedora 1, so I need to get that updated. Once I do that, I'll look into the Jack bus error thing (since I wasn't having a problem like that before). This is the first time I've heard about this problem ... though I admit I don't always have time to read the ChucK posts. --gary On Jan 23, 2005, at 6:12 PM, Ge Wang wrote:
Hi Gary!
Thanks once again for RtAudio - in addition to straightfoward use and good performance (on most platforms), it really allows us to comfortable focus on designing the language. As you know, most of the software from the soundlab uses RtAudio (including sndpeek, rt_lpc, mosievius, and more), which performs quite solidly on CoreAudio, ALSA, and Win32. The only consistent problem area is with Jack, though part of this may be due to the current state of Jack (it's still pretty sensitive). For example, RtAudio seems to bus error when Jack initialization fails - which we hope to track down soon. I will start a thread on chuck-dev.
As for Jack on OSX - I was aware that RtAudio doesn't support it, so it is somewhat surprising the ChucK compiled for Jack on OS X without modifications. This leads me to think that perhaps fixing Jack related issues (whatever they are) under Linux will also help on OS X. It would certainly also make a lot of soundlab software better under Jack.
Thanks again, Gary!

Best, Ge!

If ChucK still relies on RtAudio for its audio I/O support, then there is no Jack support for OS-X. I honestly don't know why someone would want to use Jack in OS-X, since it is built on top of CoreAudio (RtAudio supports CoreAudio directly). And also note that RtAudio supports ASIO on Windows.
