IMO Paul was right to come out full guns blazing on
this one. After all
the effort that has gone into making Linux the most stable audio platform
over the years it is very dubious behaviour for this person to come out of
the blue with a direct challenge to the platform without even having the
courtesy to discuss it first in the LAD list.
I found it odd that the klang developer has this thing for power management.
My studio machine is not a laptop running on battery power, nor does it
have a heat problem. I really couldn't care less about whether my audio
subsystem allows the CPU to throttle back. My latency is around 5ms, and I
don't have any problem with routing apps through JACK. My studio system
has been very stable for years now.
Not only is he solving a non-problem, but he's trying to do it without
tapping the knowledge base of the people who have been working on this
for years, and he's trying to do it in a way that is counter to decisions
made at high levels in the kernel dev circles about using FP in the
kernel.
