Hi, I ran accross a kernel module/tool titled irqtune. >From it's web page: #How do I know if I need irqtune? <snip> # Interrupt handlers for specialized, time critical devices don't get control when they need to. Perhaps it's just what the realtime audio admin needs. I don't recall reading about it in our mailing lists. Has anyone else looked at it? Thoughts? ron __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Tax Center - forms, calculators, tips, more http://taxes.yahoo.com/
