Subject: [Csnd] Jack on Intel Mac OS 10.5

Hi Folks -

Is anyone using jack on os x?  I see that there is a MacPorts port, as well as a dedicated (separate, I think) project at www.jackosx.com.  I installed the latter, which works via coreaudio only. 

I couldn't get csound to start working with CoreAudio after configuring CA to use Jack - csound always complains of failing to set the buffer size, like so:

audio buffered in 1024 sample-frame blocks
 *** CoreAudio: open: could not set buffer size
Failed to initialise real time audio output

I played with combinations of jack's buffer size and -B/-b command line options, but no dice.  Anyone with advice on Jack and Mac OSX?

Thank you!
b

Perhaps the mac distro I have doesn't have Jack built with it?
I'm running Csound version 5.10 (float samples) Dec 22 2008.

After I'd installed the version at jackosx.com, no - I get:

 *** error: unknown rtaudio module: 'jack'

Do you mean you can't get the Csound Jack IO module working?

csound ... -+rtaudio=jack

I assume that you installed the Intel float build for 10.4?  The
10.5-specific build is for PowerPCs (and MacCsound users) and does not
contain the rtjack module.

I will attempt to add the rtjack module next time, but I don't want to build
Jack, so I need to ensure that the rtjack module will not cause errors if
Jack is not present.

I probably installed the PPC version, reading the guidance on getting MacCsound to run.  I installed the Intel-float 10.4 build, and now I get:


audio buffered in 128 sample-frame blocks
 *** rtjack: could not connect to JACK server[m

So, the rtjack madule being loaded, but it can't find the JACK server, which _is_ running.  Anyone have advice on how I can debug?  Thanks guys - b

Which version should I aim for, then? 

Thanks - b

Probably a version mismatch? I will need to look into this for the next release.
