[PD] audio drops for few ms, or one sec, with jack on ubuntu (was: Mess with Pd installation on Linux)

[Alexandros Drymonitis]

Forgot to mention that whenever I move a window around, open a subpatch,
swich between applications while the audio is running, the sound stops till
I stop which ever action.
Also I'm running $ jackd -d firewire -d hw:NVidia (forgot to write hw: in
the first email)
