[linux-audio-user] low latency

[Patrick Shirkey]

For those of you who don't follow the jack list there was a recent 
(semi) discovery htat greatly improves performance for journalled 
filesystems.

The main problem is that jack writes data to a /tmp file. It has been 
found that mounting /tmp as tmpfs (in RAM) solves the problems that many 
people have experienced with lockups while using JACK.

Just put this in your /etc/fstab

none                /tmp              tmpfs     defaults      0 0

I have added this info to the low latency howto also.

========================================

Being on stage with the band in front of crowds shouting, "Get off! No! 
We want normal music!", I think that was more like acting than anything 
I've ever done.
