ok, this x-runs are not caused by single application starts. and i even 
get xruns when i just run jack and nothing else. i mean, what the heck? 
ok. i consider to install the rt-kernel. but its gone, aint? of course, 
i could compile it by my own, but i know, i cant do it. it would be the 
first time, that compiling by myself would go right. so, i think about 
downgrading to 10.04. what is ok, because i dont use the 
studio-installation for my daily work. i tried a buffer of 2 and 4, but 
the same result. any other suggestions? if not, i continue with 10.04. 
just hope, that the firewire-driver is part of this version. my last 
perfectly working installation of US was 8.04 ;-)


thanks for the help
