Sounds great Pieter, I dont have the new schedule fully read, are you in Cologne at LAC? > What's all the fuzz about latency ? I am one of the 'fuzz-makers' and happy to have a latency of little less then 3ms with 64 Studio distribution and RME PCMCIA Card. Granted, you might not need extreme latencys for recording external stuff and actually I turn up to 10ms or more for final mix down / rehearsal of a considerable amount of tracks to keep the hard disks happy. But this is only one use of Linux Audio. I use laptop for audio synthesis in realtime and want the smallest latency possible and I am happy that now actually Midi is slower when the perceived audio latency. Play a computer software synth with a drum pad controller and you will experience it, any latency is to be avoided. Although I use software synthesis for over a decade now, the trend to go all software synthesis still looks like a ridiculous idea to me but with that low latency the computers start to compete.
