To piggyback onto this question, how far is Linux audio performance a distibution dependence thing? To wit: 1. There are some kernel settings related to audio performance. These are easily found for those interested to compile their own kernel. Can't pretty much any kernel be run from any distribution? 2. Isn't JACK and ALSA configuration pretty much kernel indpendent and distribution independent? For example, you can start the JACK server with whatever parameters you want, and ALSA asoundrc is also independently configurable. 3. Each application requires some configuration, including compiler options during build. Do some distributions handle this so much more wisely than others? For example, is the Planet CCRMA version of Ardour better than the Debian version?
