The rt-patch might allow to chose a frame rate a step below the value you could use without the patch. E.g.instead of 256 frames, you might need just 128 frames to get rid of xruns. This could be important for software monitoring, since 10 ms are usually too long, while 5 ms latency are not unusual for digital effect processors, at least I never heard somebody complaining about a Behringer V-Amp being unusable, regarding too long latency and a V-Amp has got 5 ms latency. I experienced better sync between audio tracks, that are recorded MIDI tracks [1]. For some reason it affects something responsible for MIDI jitter. Regards, Ralf [1] If recording the same MIDI track two times, one time after the other, e.g. a kick, the early reflection alike offset decreases. The lower the audio frame value, the less MIDI jitter. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
