[PD] [OT] New machine - sound hardware?

[altern]

hi patrick

I have a terratec phase X24 and the only problem I have is because of 
the firewire controller on my laptop (IBM X32) which seems to be crap (a 
Ricoh). So it is not the soundcard. I was told on the freebob list that 
I should buy a PCMCIA firewire card to solve this. I disabled cron and 
anacron (one of them was starting updatedb causing big trouble with 
jack) and I stop the wifi card while I use the soundcard. I also 
compiled freebob and jack from latest stable source. After all this it 
works better, jack still quits but takes couple of hours to happen.

Regarding PD I get clicks when switching desktops, I use Fluxbox on 
Ubuntu Studio. This does not happen with other software like 
Supercollider. I guess I need to play around with PD startup flags. I 
havent tested latency with test patch. Thanks for pointing into the 
ath_pci issue, I will test to see if this makes any difference.
