But with the expensive > Hammerfall PCMCIA Card I cant get lower then 5.33 without getting xruns, the RME cards can't run with a smaller frames-per-interrupt setting of 64. at 48kHz, thats 2.6msec round trip. any problems above that are h/w and s/w configuration. alas, there is so much to look at its hard to even list it all. googling for "linux real time audio latency" will find lots of stuff to provide you with clues. note that on many laptops, you will never solve the problems because the BIOS doesn't allow proper control over IRQ assignments (this is true of my laptop, for example). --p
