Every distro seems to have their quirks, but I found that latency is not
the huge problem with suse that it is with a basic redhat install, but I
found that few of their distro audio apps work right, maybe Geentoo or
Mandrake are better, though I've also heard that debian is good, but a
lot of work. Anyways I wound up recompiling alsa, jack, and terminatorX,
so if I recompile rosegarden and muse, and get ardour working I should
be doing fine, I just need to recompile everything from cvs to get the
best possible experience.

With SuSE 8.2 it's a bit tricky, as the version of JACK included is
old enough that some recent applications won't even compile with it
(as it doesn't include the new transport API etc). But if you
install a newer JACK for the purposes of building newer apps, you'll
get into trouble with any JACK-based apps already installed that were
built against the old one, because they aren't compatible at the
protocol level.
I would probably recommend uninstalling the SuSE JACK package and
everything that depends on it, and going for the 0.90 release
instead. In my experience the packaged audio apps often don't work
as well as any you might build yourself anyway (e.g. the Rosegarden-4
package doesn't work for me as supplied in either SuSE 8.2 or 9.0 --
on 8.2 you unfortunately need to do "CXXFLAGS=-O0 ./configure" to
build Rosegarden without optimisation to work around a compiler bug).
Hi, I`m working with suse 8.2, I try to patch
the suse kernel but
that don`t work. [...] Maybe
somebody know if suse has integrated the lowlatency patch to the
suse kernel?
Don't know, but I do find the stock SuSE kernel gives better audio
performance than the stock RedHat one. So it's possible they have
some of the patches.
