Comment 17 for bug 383431

I appear to be experiencing the bug described above. I believe I may have found a workaround - I dont know if im missing something obvious. Previously I was running jack using qjackctrl, which does not appear to offer this option, but it seems that running jackd directly allows one to use the "nozombies" option which prevents jack kicking off clients which are too slow. this allows me to run at 11ms pretty happily (i have not tried lower yet).

I haven't seen this mentioned yet - this either means I am stating something useful and unnoticed, or something obvious and irrelevant! hope it helps if the former, apologies if its the latter.

Running jackd as:
pasuspender -- jackd --nozombies --timeout 500 --realtime -P 89 -d alsa -p 256 --rate 44100 --softmode
