Indamixx 2/Transmission 5 (MeeGo) has a PREEMPT kernel, and
therefore rtirq won't work with it. We've spent a lot of time
tuning this kernel, and while there have been no clinical tests...
we're experiencing performance very close to Transmission 4's
PREEMPT_RT kernel (With jack running at 512x2 frames/buffer and
44100 Hz) on various machines.
ahh... 512 is pretty high latency, normal PREEMPT kernels should do that
pretty well.
I knew _someone_ would chime in about 23ms being "high latency." :-)
LOL, but it is.
As far as I'm concerned personally, when using the computer as
effect-rack playing guitar or bass:
latencies between 10 and 20ms are the worst!
20ms I can manage and compensate somewhat.
<10ms is fine.
<5ms is great.
I do run jack at 64*2 - jack_delay measures 4.9ms total round-trip
latency. It rocks!
FWIW, several popular apps (esp. those doing Fourier
Transforms, like
time-stretchers) will not work reliably at <256 frames/period.
Would you care to enlighten us which popular apps that are?
'fmit' for example uses FTT and works just fine at 32fpp.
