[PD] (OT) periodic jack xruns in every 20 minutes

[Derek Holzer]

Check the linux-audio-user list archives regarding the filesystem you 
use with JACK. I recall that ext3 gives huge problems, other file 
systems may have their own issues. The hangup involves how and where 
JACK writes its temporary files. You can also use a jacktmpfs (I think 
that's what it's called). Anyways, LAU will have more info.
