Yup. yaourt -S cadence and recommendeds, and yaourt/pacman the apps
I use (right now, just yoshimi). Also the usual config changes
discovered with realtimeconfigquickscan, no kernel change needed, no
reload. It helps that I use xfce4, which interferes a lot less than
other desktops have in my past. I was very surprised at how well it
went; in my most recent production box build, about a year ago, I
had to scrag xfce4 and go with LXDE to get rid of some xruns.
