Interesting.
So I was doing some googling to try to find out some technical details
on what is involved in the low latency kernel , and I came across this
to start with.
http://askubuntu.com/questions/126664/why-to-choose-low-latency-kernel-over…
As I was reading I was curious as to my CPU power, so I opened a shell
to run "lshw". As soon as I hit "enter" my rip stopped in the usual
fashion, but then everything on my desktop slowed right down. My
mouse was moving in slow-motion. I tried typing this and it was
missing letters (since rebooted).
So it seems basically that my system is underpowered, I guess. I have
4 cores, and this is from lshw. Maybe I need a real sound card too?

Something is really, really weird about your entire setup. You shouldn't need
to jump through all those hoops. I've never had issues like that, not even on
an old single core 32 bit athlon.

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.
