Xruns

I'm back to using Jack for recording on Fedora-11 Linux, using input
from the line port to be recorded using Audacity.  Jack is reporting
what seems to be a large number of xruns, which I don't remember seeing
on Fedora-10 on the same system.

Typical statistics are as follows.  These statistics were recorded
without audacity (or any other audio application) running:
        DSP Load: 0.084%
        Sample Rate 48000 Hz
        Buffer Size 1024 Frames
        Realtime Mode Yes
        Transport State Rolling
        Xrun count 10 (11)
        Min Sched Delay 0.055 msec
        Last Reset 15:05:42 (00:36:14)
       
Questions:
      * Is this a reasonable number of xruns? (I doubt it.)
      * What is the exact meaning of 10 (11)?  I.e. 10 of what, 11 of
        what?
      * What exactly does it mean for jack to be "rolling"?

System description
      * AMD Quad-Core Processor running at 1.3 Ghz
      * 8 Gbytes RAM
      * Fedora-11 with all updates including
              * qjackctl-0.3.4-1.fc11.x86_64
              * alsa-plugins-jack-1.0.20-2.fc11.x86_64
              * jack-audio-connection-kit-1.9.2-2.fc11.ccrma.x86_64
              * pulseaudio-module-jack-0.9.15-14.fc11.x86_64

Thanks - jon

Do you hear any glitches? Maybe you got the xruns while starting an
audio application.

I don't hear any glitches listening to the audio stream on the system
speakers.  The xruns seem to appear randomly, or just possibly from
doing things with non-audio applications.

If you get xruns without hearing glitches, while working on a song, I
guess this isn't bad and might be, because of connecting and
disconnecting clients, hectic opening and closing audio editors etc.. I
only would be scared if there would be xruns when recording the final mix.

Cheers,
Ralf
