Is there any way around this? Gah, sorry. That is SOOO out of date. But a few notes... Most of what's written there should still work fine with the 2.4-multimedia kernel. And netwide security is NOT a big risk for Joe the Home User. However, you're probably going to want to use the default Mandrake kernel, which is now 2.6 based. We include the realtime patch in the 2.6 multimedia kernel. I just haven't had time to update the howto. Some good stuff about 2.6 latency available here: http://jackit.sourceforge.net/docs/faq.php#a53 http://www.linuxdj.com/audio/lad/resourceslatency.php3 http://rpm.nyvalls.se/sound10.1.html Maybe someday soon, I won't be so lazy.
