I think it depends on what kind of audio work you are facing to.<br><br>5.3 ms latency is not good if you do monitoring from software, so for non-prof use almost everyone can live with 5.3ms latency.<br><br>But recording a vocal track could be a little drama, because latencies &gt; 5ms are really audible and from the headphones/monitor it sounds like singing within an empty barrel of oil.<br>

<br>
&gt; And here is the next installment in the saga of trying to get Ingo<br>
&gt; RT going on my Asus EEE.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; I successfully built and ran the 2.6.26.8-rt12 with the alsa_seq<br>
&gt; patch. It ran.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; The problem is that neither the Ethernet (atl1e) or wireless<br>
&gt; (rt2860sta) work. So I pretty much had to reboot back out of it<br>
&gt; immediately.<br>
<br>
I&#39;ve been running the standard kernel from openSUSE 11.0 on my Athlon<br>
2000+ and can get down to at least 5.3ms latency on an Audiophile 2496<br>
using the limits.conf &quot;trick&quot;.<br>
<br>
Do people really need lower latencies for music purposes or are we<br>
just thinking &quot;well, I needed the RT patch three years ago; I ain&#39;t<br>
stopping now&quot; ?<br>
