Even when the jack server is running. XMMS says "please check that your
soundcard is configured properly".

Are you running jackd and xmms as the *same* user?

[Comment 2 Clock 2005-11-16 03:29:22 UTC]

Now I tried XMMS with jack run as ordinary user, and it works! :)
However when I run linphone, select Jack output and input, and preview
the bigben WAV, it plays totally distorted and has a tail of complete
random noise, or in other tries the linphone simply segfaults, or
glibc prints assertions about double free memory corruption.

Also when I run jack and switch desktops, the sound drops out. When
playing directly to ALSA, it doesn't happen.

[Comment 3 Luis Medinas (RETIRED) 2005-11-16 07:45:32 UTC]

feels like a jack bug maybe it's better change the summary

[Comment 4 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) 2006-10-23 00:42:00 UTC]

xmms and all plugins are now package.masked and will be removed from the tree in one month.

WONTFIX.
