kernel-source-2.4.21 is the latest available in Debian
unstable, so
you could just get that one, as well as alsa-source,
kernel-patch-2.4-lowlatency, kernel-patch-2.4-preempt. You probably
also want to apply the capability patch (manually, see jack docs @
jackit.sf.net).
I think this is the kernel setup that most people use.
Thank you for the information. I'll try that out now...
BTW: I was just compiling a 2.4.22 (unpatched) just before I got your
answer ;-) So I'll have both of them to try out (at least if nobody
tells me now, it is not worth bothering about one of them...)
BTW: I'd appreciate if someone would answer the question of
Luis Pablo about low latency and 2.4.22
For the 2.6.0-test series, you should get the latest
from kernel.org,
sure...
How usable is it currently for audio?
Which patches?
Thanks a lot for sharing infos and experience, Robert.
