Hi,
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]?
I somewhere read something about merging andrews LL and the preemptible
patches. Is there any truth to that?
What about the 2.4.x capabilities "patch"? Will this work on 2.6.x?

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.

We all hope so.

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...
