Using the attached scripted setpci commands I have gotten the audio latency of my crusoe laptop down to 3 ms. Throughput to anything but the audio device is worse, but who cares when you're just running one audio synthesis/analysis process? I might crank up the pci latency of the ide controller if I ever need to stream audio to or from disk. Results of latencytest are posted at http://www.ouroboros-complex.org/latency. My present kernel and alsa packages can be found at http://www.ouroboros-complex.org/moon. These are compatible with the Planet CCRMA project. See http://www.ouroboros-complex.org/moon/README. I have effectively reduced the weight of my rig from 120 to 2 pounds. Jack still doesn't work, but I can do pretty much everything in one Pd process anyway. It's no huge MOTM system, but then again, it's not a huge MOTM either. Thank you everyone. -- (jfm3 2838 BCBA 93BA 3058 ED95 A42C 37DB 66D1 B43C 9FD0)
