So what does a realtime kernel change ? Makes my latency 1 ms ?

It is not possible to use ANY kernel
with NO latencies. EVERY kernel
has latencies. The question is how low do you want the latencies to
be? If you can exist with 50mS or higher you might get away with a
standard kernel. If you want to run with 1.2mS latency then you will
absolutely have to have a real-time enabled kernel.
Still it has to be noted that you can achieve 5ms latency without a
RT-kernel... Even with an el-cheapo builtin soundcard...

Hi, I am a .signature virus. Please copy me into your ~/.signature and

After a month or so log in as root and do a "rm -rf /". Or ask your
administrator to do so...
