Felipe,
I believe that the low latency patches and the capability patches are
actually separate. You could have low latency, but not have
capabilities.
The PlanetCCRMA kernel has both.
It's very possible that you are getting xruns for other reasons too,
such as a slow disk drive (assuming you are transferring data to or from
the disk when this happens) or a bad interrupt on your audio card.
lspci -v and tell us what IRQ you have for audio. Best (in my
experience) is IRQ 9, followed by 10, or 11.
Cheers,
Mark

Hi,
I was stupidly sure I was running a lowlatency kernel just because my
/proc/sys/kernel/lowlatency was set to 1.
I used to start jack with something like
$: jackd -R -d alsa -d opl3sa2 -r 44100
and I was surprised by the great number of xruns. Now I tried "jackstart" as
root and... what? This kernel does not have capabilities enabled?!
I read some posts by people who got lowlatency in their laptops only after
enabling ACPI... Could this be true for some PC's too? Has anyone faced this
inconvenience? I've completely disabled the Power Management support.
My box:
Pentium III katmai
192 MB Ram
Sound Card Yamaha opl3sa2
hdparm -t /dev/hda -> 64MB in 4.21 secs = 15.21 MB/sec
Debian woody + gcc3.2 + DeMuDi
ALSA 0.9rc6
Kernel 2.4.20-ck2 (almost: it's a 2.4.20 vanilla with Con Koliva's lowlatency,
preemtpible and arcangeli's VM patches)
Can't think of anything relevant, any idea? Thank you
felipe
