Not sure how up to date they are. I think I'm running something like rt-sources-2.6.29-something as the vanilla 2.6.30 kernel.org kernel didn't seem to like my chipset. Go figure.... Anyway, they are there, and...small rant... ;-) ;-) Why in the heck does *anyone* complain about not finding rt-kernels? The source is publicly available and it's very straight forward to build kernel source once you get in the swing. There isn't any magic to building the rt-kernel and truly it's no more difficult than building the vanilla kernel if folks have done that. end of small rant... ;-) ;-) Cheers all, Mark _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
