[alsa-devel] M-audio Audiophile Firewire

[Pap Peti]

Okay,

Now I went back to Linux Mint Sarah (18) with Cinnamon window manager (x64)

and:

Linux 4.4.0-45-generic x86_64

ffado-dbus-ser 2:2.2.1+svn2

ffado-mixer

DAW: Tracktion 5 (x64) /if I use with ALSA driver, I cant play sounds 
paralell with another applications e.g.: browser - youtube, or any player)

And I cant connect JACK firewire backend with realtime priority.

So, I think maybe the JACK make me less CPU usage in the DAW , and/or I 
can play sound from another source too, in each time. But if I can solve 
theese problems with ALSA, thats also okay for me :) Regards Peti
