[linux-audio-user] Advice needed re: latency tuning/optimization, esp. video

[Jan Depner]

Chris,

	I was just looking at one of the other posts.  If your problem is the
video card you might try tuning the PCI latency.  Check out my page -
http://myweb.cableone.net/eviltwin69/Arcana.html.  There are a couple of
links that cover latency really well.
