I've got this installed now. recompiled the realtime lsm and recompiled alsa-drivers. http://people.redhat.com/mingo/voluntary-preempt/ANNOUNCE-voluntary-preempt speaks of setting /proc/sys/kernel/voluntary_preemption to 1 to turn it on ... trying this I still have the audio glitches and ecasound reports xruns. I noticed when the system came up this was set to 3 by default. I tried setting it back to 3, but still xruns. The audio glitches seemed to sound a little better ... but, I'm getting a little punchy and the work week is nearly upon me. I'll have to test more next weekend. have more options been added to the /proc/ interface for voluntary preempt since the announcement above? I've seen some mentions of configuring alsa with debugging info. Is there a brief explanation somewhere of how to best help with weeding out the 2.6.x latency problems? Thanks, Eric Rz.
