i wonder about how ready linux 2.6.0 is for audio
stuff? Is vanilla
2.6.0 with preemtion enabled comparable to 2.4.22 with preemption +
andrew's LowLatency patches [which i use right now]?
On my system, the vanilla 2.6 with preemption is usable for audio, but
nowhere near as good at low latencies as a properly patched and tuned
2.4 kernel.
I somewhere read something about merging andrews LL
and the preemptible
patches. Is there any truth to that?
We all hope so.
What about the 2.4.x capabilities "patch"?
Will this work on 2.6.x?
Yes, I think it will. But, 2.6 provides a mechanism for doing this as
a kernel module with no patches required. Here is an experimental
module I built based on earlier work done by Torben Hohn...
