The more latency, the more positive and negative drift I got for audio recorded MIDI events from hw synth. I never made MIDI recordings since I own a RME card. FWIW ALSA MIDI sequencer timer was hrtimer and tickless was enabled by the kernel. It's also said that tickless should be bad and I experienced it vice versa. For soft synth I never noticed serious issues, at least not for my production Linux, even if I used 'seq' instead of a2jmidid. FWIW mobo ASUS M2A-VM HDMI, without the HDMI thingy , but instead a GeForce 7200 GS. AMD Athlon dual-core BE-2350. Sound card TerraTec EWX 24/96, PCI. I won't refer to ascertained measurement results, they might be wrong, but others and I heard "improper timing" before and steady timing when using -Xalsarawmidi. - Ralf _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
