With only an afternoon of effort, i am finding this audio set up quite
tedious. i was on gentoo which was not without other issues, but the audio
optimisations were well documented and straightforward.

Perhaps there is a list of differences between ubunutu and ubunutu-studio
that could be compared. Asmo, you seem to be quite happy... any ideas?

thanks for your help thus far, but i'm afraid the audio workstation is going
to need a few hours of tweaking before my native-ubuntu is audio happy.

btw,

is anyone else having random lock ups with the "2.6.28-3-rt #12-Ubuntu SMP
PREEMPT RT" kernel. i'm on a lenovo r61 and this kernel seems to freeze
randomly with no warning. Not worth the risk on audio recording or
performances, eek.

thanks,

t
