Hello Atte,

I'm using the default encryption that came with my notebook, eCryptfs.
It was super easy to set up as it's an option during the install of
Ubuntu and I don't notice it being there actually.

Unfortunately I haven't stressed this setup under real-time conditions
yet. But so far I have had no real issues when recording band
repetitions or when trying to compose tracks. I can't go lower than
128/48000*3 but that's mainly because this setup isn't tuned for
real-time work.
