With latency timer set to 0 nothing seems to be

hear xruns while writing this mail. lspci does confirm that the RME
card is set to latency 0, but the other cards still have higher
values, so I set PCI Latency Timer (CLK) to the max [255]. No
soundcheck, regarding to lspci it's more worse than before, so I'll
reboot now and restore the default value [64] and then write a
script as explained by

Your RME card should have a high latency value and the rest should be
lower. This allows your RME card to hold on to the PCI bus for a
longer period of time (higher latency value = device can hold on to
the bus for a longer period of time).
Thank you Jeremy,
I understand this and started writing a script, but first I'll get rid
of firewire, I don't need it and then of Envy24 too, I don't need the
"MIDI devices" at the moment.

$ sudo rmmod firewire-ohci
$ sudo rmmod firewire_core
I'll add sudo rmmod snd_ice1712 and than set the latency of the RME and
other cards. Strange, in the morning I couldn't remove snd_ice1712, now
it does work, perhaps a typo.
Testing it may take some time, I've to do "weekend things", but I'll
set up latency now.
