Hi,

See below for my contribution to Linux audio poetry, reflections of
personal struggle ;-)

Thanks to all Linux audio developers and supporters for all the great
software, I hope no one feels offended or ridiculed by the lyrics.

I hope we can soon hear a rendition of this song by Dave Philips and his guitar (with obvious audio dropouts and glitches caused by xruns, of course)...

X-run blues (battle hymn of Linux audio newbies)
----------------
I woke up early one morning, I got me the X-run blues

Must've missed a couple of warnings, and I don't have any clues

I was all set to record, enter the X-run blues
I was really ready to record, enter the X-run blues
Could be the cpufreq, or them funny IRQs

I started googling for advice on lower latency

It said 'Compile yourself a realtime kernel, son, and you just wait and
see'

I switched to Ardour III, I paid my Ardour dues

Tried all of the Jack flavors, can't lose the X-run blues

I developed 'X' paranoia, Xubuntu's where I'm at
I developed 'X' paranoia, the worst I ever had
Would switching to Fedora get me F-runs instead

Lately I don't care too much, though there's lots of things to check
Right now I don't care too much, lots of settings still to check
I like the vintage pops and crackles, just like a Robert Johnson track
