Is the pro_audio overlay any good? does it have the latest s/w?
Before I built a custom 2.6.31-rt20 kernel, I used the pro_audio overlay
to get rt-sources which gave 2.6.16 which seems ancient.
Would anyone actually recommend gentoo for setting up an RT audio system?
I'm running a gentoo audio workstation, using 2.6.30 kernel, with
realtime. I do use the audio overlay for some things, like jackd, but
other things I compile by hand since the overlay is a little behind
the releases. The 2.6.24 kernel is also known to work well with audio
Gentoo is not for the faint of heart, to be sure. You will spend a lot
of time getting it setup and tweaked.
