I use the proprietary NVidia drivers on Ubuntu Studio... very few, if

internal audio hardware, so YMMV depending on hardware and software
combination.
Hi, I use the nouveau driver on archlinux since aprox. 1 year with a 7xxx
card. The soundcard is the legendary maudio 1010l. I never had problems with
xruns since I'm using nouveau. If you have specific tests to run on that
system, I can perform them on the machine in a week or so (as soon as I'll be
back from my holidays).
Best, Bjoern
On some
systems 'nouveau' seems to work really well, on some
others it produced lots of xruns (using a moderate jack period
size of 256) which went away when I replaced 'nouveau' by the
older 'nv'. I did not try the proprietary driver from Nvidia,
AFAIK it has latency problems as well.
while i heard rumors about latency problems of the proprietary nvidia
driver, i did not experience any latency issues. when i did some
histograms for the multicore signal processing engine of supernova on my
nehalem workstation, i was measuring a maximum jitter of about 10
microseconds. unless you don't want to use the proprietary nvidia driver
for political reasons, it is fine to run it for low-latency applications
... but testing it is probably better than relying on personal opinions
