I'm with you on Unity - best desktop UI I've used since I had to give
up on RISC OS in '98! :-)

However, I'd question why you're using Ubuntu 12.10?  I now stick with
LTS editions, and treat the others as what they really are - betas for
the LTS's.  With the low-latency kernel and using the KXStudio ppa's
for most audio stuff, this seems a pretty solid and usable setup,
given that I use it as a general purpose setup with audio capabilities
rather than a purely audio platform.


I'm using 12.10 because of other issues in 12.04 (especially USB soundcard requiring a higher kernel to run ok).
Over the past 2 years I am having this laptop, I haven't been able to get a single stable version of Ubuntu for playing music:
- Soundcard not supported
- EHCI not supporting USB 2.0 soundcard
- XHCI not supporting USB 2.0 soundcard
- Compiz being too slow
- FGLRX creating xrun

Now I re-installed FGLRX and it runs ok, but I forgot about another bug in the couple FGLRX and Compiz that makes my CPU go 100% (this issue was already in 12.04)...
I have all these issues reported or fixed...

I know we have digressed from the original issue between with Ardour and Ubuntu (conclusion here: it's an Ubuntu issue as installing FGLRX fixes the problem),..
