Hi, I've changed the config variables in namarc. The new variables and suggested default settings are: ecasound_globals_general: -z:mixmode,sum ecasound_globals_realtime: -z:db,100000 -z:nointbuf ecasound_globals_nonrealtime: -z:nodb -z:intbuf ecasound_buffersize_realtime: 256 ecasound_buffersize_nonrealtime: 1024 In fact, I believe we will need realtime settings most of the time, i.e. when the routing graph includes both device (soundcard or jack client) inputs and outputs. Let me know if you have a better idea. Joel -- Joel Roth
