Hm, I am currently trying PREEMPT_DESKTOP.
I got the impression _RT would be a bit of overkill for
audio work.
AFAIK PREEMPT_DESKTOP was introduced early in the 2.6 series.
If it was enough, we didn't discuss about low latency
anymore, but we do ;-) .
For audio work, a latency of more than zero milliseconds is
still too much.
I really hope to get a latency of about 4msecs. Currently, my
USB card runs at 16msecs and you can feel that. Play a
softsynth percussively...
Unfortunately,
I also try to get decent audio on my
2.6.12 machine but it seems to be tricky.
After enabling the above option and kernel installation,
you need to patch PAM and configure it accordingly or you
need to try set-rtlimits.
Is this documented somewhere?
