qjackctl realtime question

[jk at jasonkahn.net]

hello

i am trying to use qjackctl with the realtime option checked, so far
with no luck.

i get the following information in the messages window:

my set-up in qjackctl is:
server path: /usr/bin/jack
driver: alsa
frames/period: 512
sample rate: 44100
periods/buffer/3
interface: (default)
dither: none
audio: playback only

i am using kernel 2.6.22-14-rt on a lenovo t61 laptop with hda intel or
AD198x Analog sound cards.
qjackctl version 0.2.22
alsa-base version 1.0.14-1

i'm not really getting any x-runs with my settings, but i figured since
i am running the realtime kernel i should also be able to use this with
qjackctl.

thanks in advance for any help!
