Not that hard to find ;-) With regard to your question for a "multichannel-audio friendly" kernel on Gentoo you should look at morph-sources (not in portage, but see http://morph-sources.sourceforge.net). It has (among others) the low-latency and realtime-lsm patches. I am running JACK with 44100Hz, period = 64 frames, buffer = 2 periods (= 2.9 msec latency) here on an "old" IBM Thinkpap A30 (1 MHz CPU) with absolutely no xruns (even 32 frames work, but with xruns when (dis-)connecting clients). BTW if you are interested in more Gentoo specific issues feel free to mail me directly or open a thread on forums.gentoo.org. Let's keep LAU clean (as some Gentoo'ers already have kind of bad reputation for their tendency to start discussing distro specific issues (or just to talk big about it) on any list they happen to be subscribed to ;-) Mike
