[LAU] AMD Ryzen Processors for Linux audio

[Will Godfrey]

Hi Moshe,

Yes. This is running into an mtrack-eight Which is a usb device. It is
class compliant and *will* run at 2 buffers, but can then sometimes throw a
wobbly. It had the same problem when I tried it on my Intel based laptop at a
buffer size of 128.
