Ok ... 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.
