[linux-audio-user] MOre realtime!

[J M Needham]

Hi all,

So I've just installed Ubuntu 6.09, and followed the instructions on
http://fort2.xdas.com/~kor/oss2jack/install.html to install the
realtime-lsm module and I've added
@audio - rtprio 80
@audio - memlock 500000

to /etc/security/limits.conf and set the realtime mode on Jack. Seems ok,
the only thing is that I can't get below 5.8 ms latency. Jack's behaving
nicely with very few xruns, but won't do any better. The output of the
messages with 32 frames for capture, for example, is:

10:41:35.039 Startup script...
10:41:35.039 artsshell -q terminate
sound server terminated
10:41:35.375 Startup script terminated successfully.
10:41:35.381 JACK is starting...

10:41:35.391 JACK was started with PID=5503 (0x157f).

And I can't see anything of any use in here. Any ideas?
