Hi list !

I've not find an answer to my sound problems, I hope I do not noise in the list

I am under DEMUDI 1.2.0 (friendly Xerver GNOME)and I've a lot of audio clics ,
and shit sounds !!

I . DIO errors :
mine >> http://impala.utopia.free.fr/pd/doc/capture.png
I've tried the see this problem into linux an pd forums, I've just found this :
http://lists.puredata.info/pipermail/pd-list/2001-02/001757.html

II. pure data version:
Someone say that we have to change SETUP in JACK, don't use realtime, use
"jackd" instead of "jackstart", maybe change PEriods/Buffer to 4. But always
this shit sounds !
So someone says that it's a problem of version of pure data, because I haven't
this sound in other audio application like freeebirth.
I did : apt-get update + apt-get install pure data
I've now the pd 0.38.4 version.

III. WITH JACK :
I've changed the Period/Buffer to 4, the XRUNS callback are not so many now ...
It's softer (because when Period/buffer was 2, Xruns were infinite increased).
When i launch pd in the work space number 1 (It's KDE Xserver graphic), the
sound is interrupted a lot of time, and when I go to the next workspace (with
pd on the first one) the sound is smoother.

IV. WITH ALSA:
The sound is interrupted less but it's the same shit sound. when I select the
next workspace, I've A CORRECT FINE SOUND !!!! But I need to start the computer
atomatically whitout keyboards, so I want a correct sound

Is it a problem of GNOME, ALSA, pd ?And in the both case when the mouse scroll
over a windows, it CLICKS !
Could you help me ?

Thanks
