Ubuntu, right? |
|
|
this is a bug in your Linux distribution's configuration of JACK, DBus and/or PulseAudio. it does not require (nor can it be fixed by) any change in Ardour. |
|
|
Yea, I'm using Ubuntu but that other report is Arch. How do you figure that it is a bug in the distribution, and just JACK/Ardours unique inability to hand multiple USB DACS with the same device ID and ALSA name? |
|
|
The bug is a "race condition" in PulseAudio's handling of device reservation. For some reason it more or less only affects Ubuntu. The bug has been fixed in PulseAudio and will make it into distributions soon-ish. This is what I've been told by Ubuntu packagers and upstream PA developers. It has nothing at all to with your duplicate USB device names, which is itself a totally separate problem that also has nothing to do with Ardour. |
