Ubuntu and jackd

Hello list,

I'm doing some audio processing using Supercollider on a
Beagleboard-xM running Ubuntu Maverick. I've successfully been able
to compile supercollider and have it run over jack using an external
USB audio interface (M-Audio Fast-Track Pro). However, I had to set
the jackd parameters such that I now have a very high latency (around
500ms!); this was to eliminate some very annoying distortion at lower
latencies. My jackd command-line is as follows:

/usr/bin/jackd -dalsa -r44100 -p4096 -n6 -D -Chw:1,1 -Phw:1

The user has full realtime access and all of my settings in
/etc/security/limits.d/audio.conf seem to be set correctly (I can run
realtime and have no errors with memlock'ing).

Has anyone else had similar problems with jackd and the Beagleboard
under Ubuntu? I switched to Ubuntu because I wasn't able to get this
to work under Angstrom.

Thanks!
