secondly, disable OSS and ALSA in the kernel config
(its ok to leave the toplevel 'sound' box checked) and emerge alsa-driver (to
avoid compiling all drivers add a line to /etc/make.conf eg:
ALSA_CARDS="mia,intel8x0,intel8x0m,usb-audio,virmidi"
if theres still issues, you could try mm-sources (which may have the realtime stuff
merged) or the realtime stuff floating around..havent had a need here as the stock gentoo
kernel works fine w/ 64 & 128 sample buffer...
I would definitely suggest using the mm-sources. I got latency with
csound down to 1.5 ms, which is pretty screaming for software synthesis.
