I used to put up with an occasional xrun with the older kernels. But I'm writing to
report that I just installed 2.6.29.1-RT4 from CCRMA on Fedora 10 and I didn't see a
single xrun. In case anyone is interested, I record 12 simultaneous mic'd inputs from
an Echo AudioFire12 to a Dell XPS laptop:
Dell XPS M1210 laptop
1GB RAM
Intel T5600 1.8GHz Core2Duo
Intel 945GM Video controller
Sigmatel 9220 internal audio controller
Internal Ricoh Co Ltd R5C832 IEEE 1394 Controller

Thanks to the kernel team for making such an awesome product!
