[ardour-users] good system...but crackling in audio?

[Jesse Chappell]

I recommend that we try to get the most recent ardour built for
you.   Please send the compile errors to the list, and i guarantee
we can solve it for you.  Also include the version of gcc and
glibc that your system uses (and distro, and kernel version).
