What about the (still missing) Garage Band clone on the KDE desktop? All of these will need low latency, and especially Garage Band is a product for Amateur use. We're on free software, and there's no need (at least from a technical POV) to deny desktop users the use of low latency audio and video. We're at an important "point of no return": We can make the right decision *now* or the audio and video struggle will continue. Best regards ce
