[PD] pd clicking with jack/linux

[altern]

I would check which processes are running on the background, Ubuntu has 
scheduled some processes that interfere with the sound process. In my 
laptop it was specially problematic updatedb and some wifi related 
processes. Now I only get problems when i use the realtime kernel. the 
normal one works fine enough for me.
