Is there a kernel guru who can advise?
I'm not a kernel guru, but have some experience....
Possible options seem to be:
1. Apply low latency patches
I ran a 2.4.20 for several months (cannot remember which one). Decent
performance was only possible with every patch I could find (512M ram on
Duron 800).
I used a separate physical disk for capturing the audio, and suffered _severe_
problems with ext3 (corrupted partitions) which are not related to realtime
priorities.
2. Upgrade to 2.4.22
I've skipped over this step in favour of.....
3. Upgrade to 2.6.0
I'm currently running 2.6.0_test10 (with Gentoo MM patches). Minimal setup
(JACK, Ardour, Muse, Fluidsynth * 2) produces no xruns (512M ram, Duron 1.2G)
4. something else?
