  Hi,
   I'm just echoing Lee's inputs as someone who's been down the low
 latency path for a while now. I am currently using 2.6.16-gentoo-r2
 with no low latency patches. It works fine on my AMD64 hardware, at
 least for low work load low latency needs. I run at 64/2 on my HDSP
 9652 and get no xruns doing mostly mixing and a very little recording.
 However I do require realtime-lsm be enabled and loaded. Without
 realtime-lsm all kernels on my machine, with or without Ingo's
 patches, cause xruns. 
 Does realtime-lsm offer any performance benefits over simply
 running relevant sound apps as root? I'm aware of the security benefits.
