[PD] wierd feedback popping with pd/freebob/jack/rt

[Rich E]

IOhannes, thanks for the commit..

The problem wasn't automatically starting jack. After swapping out lines of
code from the vanilla version, I discovered the source of bad audio is
coming from  "#define NUM_JACK_PORTS 1024" .  This seems to be making pd
fall behind for reasons unknown to me, but if I set it to 256 or below, the
audio is fine again (I don't know the exact number that is 'over the limit',
when I switched to 512, I got the pops/clicks).

One more thing; this only happens with my firewire soundcard (edirol
FA-101), whereas I don't have the problem with the built-in intel
soundcard.  So it seems maybe the freebob driver is trying to open all the
extra ports it doesn't need, thereby making audio fall behind?  I don't know
if this makes sense, because again, if I open audacity while pd's audio is
on and popping/clicking, the audio chain is corrected and everything sounds
fine.  This was my first time looking at jack code and really don't
understand how it all ties together yet.

Sounds good. Should I file a bug report for the above mentioned #define?  I
would submit a patch, but I don't think just setting the #define to a number
that works on my computer is good for everyone else.
