More souls aboard is always welcome of course!
I sent a PR yesterday and raboof has accepted it. I think the script is
up-to-date and relevant with its current tests and recommendations
although I spotted in the code a few comments of proposals for new
features. Not sure I can help with those as I don't really know any Perl.
I'm happy to help with the wiki too, although I'm more of a sound
engineer than Linux audio configurator (is that a word? is now! ;) ).
Cheers
Roger

Thanks for the
clarification!

Thanks, Clemens. I was thinking to contact raboof to remove that section
from RealtimeConfigQuickScan as that's still used by quite a few people
afaik. Then to gather a task force to update the wiki!
