My experience
with 2.6, and also the impression I have got
from reading
linux-audio-dev, is actually the opposite. The
2.6.0 kernel is worse
for multimedia work, because the latency is higher than
2.4.0 with the
low-latency patch. I don't know mathematical
that this is
correct, but it
seems so.
This is my experience, too, comparing a 2.4 with low latency patches
to an unpatched 2.6 kernel.
I'm not too concerned with the 2.6.0 kernel. I'm more interested in the 2.6.1
kernel after Andrew Morton has merged his patch set into the official kernel. Does anybody
know what type of effect, if any, his patch set has on multimedia work?
