Hi,
when I am trying to recording music which are on a external player (cf
Mini disc), every recording are ugly. I can record music, but, after,
when I m play the front recorded tracks, there are a lot of "jumps",
"sratchs" or the music speeds or slown down randomly.
These problems were decreased when I was upgraded the kernel on the
version 2.6.9, but are still presents.
I test the same recording on windows, and worked perfectly:-(
---> Steps To Reproduce
1 - plug a mini disc or external player on RCA
ou line in of the external rack of the soundcard
2 - record music by ardour/jack or audacity
3 - play music recorded
My hardware :
Soundcard: Creative Sound blaster audigy 2 ZS Platinium pro
Thanks for helping
Alexandre Touret

First of all, thanks for your bug report.
The problem you are experiencing probably reflects shortcomings in your
system's real time processing. I don't know how to fix your specific
problem, but I can make some suggestions.
* Make sure your kernel is built with preemption enabled.
* Reduce the load on your system, e.g., by stopping X and running
your recorder from the command line.
* There are patches floating around that improve the "real-time"
performance of Linux. You might want to try these.
* You might want to try AGNULA: http://www.agnula.org/. This is
a Debian derivative that has been optimized for sound processing.
I am going to close this bug because there isn't much that we, the
Debian ALSA packaging team, can do for you. This does not imply that
your problem is unreal or insignificant.
Best of luck!
