Hi,
See below for my contribution to Linux audio poetry, reflections of
personal struggle ;-)
Thanks to all Linux audio developers and supporters for all the great
software, I hope no one feels offended or ridiculed by the lyrics.
Thanks,

X-run blues (battle hymn of Linux audio newbies)
----------------
I woke up early one morning, I got me the X-run blues
I woke up early one morning, I got me the X-run blues
Must've missed a couple of warnings, and I don't have any clues
I was all set to record, enter the X-run blues
I was really ready to record, enter the X-run blues
Could be the cpufreq, or them funny IRQs
I started googling for advice on lower latency
I started googling for advice on lower latency
It said 'Compile yourself a realtime kernel, son, and you just wait and
see'
I switched to Ardour III, I paid my Ardour dues
I switched to Ardour III, I paid my Ardour dues
Tried all of the Jack flavors, can't lose the X-run blues
I developed 'X' paranoia, Xubuntu's where I'm at
I developed 'X' paranoia, the worst I ever had
Would switching to Fedora get me F-runs instead
Lately I don't care too much, though there's lots of things to check
Right now I don't care too much, lots of settings still to check
I like the vintage pops and crackles, just like a Robert Johnson track

Excellent!
Totally waiting to hear this performed at next year's LAC sound night.

The lyrics seem to fit to the twelve-bar blues chord progressions and
the repeated parts of the lyrics seem to point to the typical whiny kind
of speech song, so the melody unlikely will be a surprise.
Hey Kees, where you goin' with that sledgehammer in your hands?

Waiting for that version on an good ol' style, with pops and cracks,
singing with a broke sad bluesy voice.

I hope we can soon hear a rendition of this song by Dave Philips and his
guitar (with obvious audio dropouts and glitches caused by xruns, of
course)...

If the workstation is too good to produce xruns, I recommend to launch
several instances of jamin to increase DSP load.

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.

OK, so that's a start for the video that'll be going along the song.

That's hilarious. Indeed, I nominate Dave Phillips to
blues that up.
BTW, I think it might be the second song named after Xruns:
