Here's a link to the kernel patch: http://lkml.org/lkml/2004/9/13/293 This should be much easier for a packager than downloading the realtime-lsm tarball, as you can just patch the kernel and enable realtime-lsm in Kconfig. My goal is to have this in the kernel before Ingo's voluntary preemption patches stabilize. Since audio users will probably have to apply Ingo's patches to use 2.6 anyway, I would like to eliminate the extra patching step. It would be nice to get this in 2.6.9 but I think 2.6.10 is more realistic. Also, Ingo is now posting the individual parts of the VP patches to LKML for possible merging; the response has also been very good, as many real kernel bugs were discovered while developing these. So it's quite possible that by 2.6.10 audio users will only have to use a small kernel patch, or none at all. Lee
