[ardour-users] Jack uses 100% CPU and can't be killed

[Ben Edwards]

Will dig out the info when I get home.  Was planing on compiling from
CVS - thats probably a better idea - I was using Ubuntu BTW.

Would running jack from the command line rather than using qjackctl
make it easier to send errors/dialog to the list?

Will send lsmod/modules

Thanks,
Ben
