I'll try that out now... BTW: I was just compiling a 2.4.22 (unpatched) just before I got your answer ;-) So I'll have both of them to try out (at least if nobody tells me now, it is not worth bothering about one of them...) BTW: I'd appreciate if someone would answer the question of Luis Pablo about low latency and 2.4.22 > For the 2.6.0-test series, you should get the latest from kernel.org, sure... How usable is it currently for audio? Which patches? Thanks a lot for sharing infos and experience, Robert.
