audacity and jack

[thomas fisher]

Thanks Jesus for your post. Can you be more specific on how jack failed? Was a 
formal bug submitted upstream? Is your audio demands of a level that needs 
more than just a vanilla flavored level? For pushing the Linux audio learning 
curve check out the LAU, { Linux Audio Users } list.

that it can connect with portaudio }

     For the specific " portaudio " problem consider this post to LAU in 2004.
