You might want to investigate Ingo Molnar's realtime patches [1] (in case you don't already know about them). They are apparently very good at keeping worst-case latencies very low. I tried an older version of that patchset (just used it for normal desktop stuff) and it seemed to work fine. I heard that people use it for audio stuff, but I don't do anything much with audio myself. Marco [1] http://people.redhat.com/mingo/realtime-preempt/ -- gentoo-amd64@gentoo.org mailing list
