In Ardour's case there is no context-switch. All tracks, Busses and FX run in the same process. So there won't be any direct effect. Low-latency I/O however (soundcard) will see additional overhead, as will JACK with multiple clients (one context switch per client). Still, the kernel patch can be disabled (boot option). If the overhead matters, you can run a dedicated audio-machine, which may even be offline or be protected otherwise (the exploits depend on being able to run code on the machine locally). ciao, robin _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
