[PlanetCCRMA] terminatorX help

[Tim Moody]

Thanks, that worked.  The only difference I see is the -d hw parameter 
which I didn't have before, and the fact that I'm not root.  Can jackstart 
be run in background?

Planet ccrma is a real candy store.  I'm just getting started sampling its 
wares.

There are a few things that don't work for me, however:

alsaplayer - just makes noise on my test file (it is 8 bit mono at 11025Hz, 
which plays on Audacity)
pd - terminates if I check jack as my audio (works with alsa)
