Yes I do. Quite possibly the situation has changed since 2011, as the rt patch is constantly evolving and being merged into vanilla.. I also verified my results by asking the rt devs on IRC (not that this constitutes proof), and a couple of them concurred that this would indeed be good practice. > > There is so much hearsay and mumbo jumbo about linux audio floating > > around, that I would not make such a statement without having a > > foundation for it.. > If this is addressed to me personally, I don't base my statements on > hearsay and mumbo jumbo.

It was more of a general statement about linux audio and the associated lore floating around on the nets, much of it outdated or even untrue nowdays. What I wanted to make clear is that I was not simply repeating some advice found on the internet somewhere, but rather based my comment on personal experience. --- Joakim _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
