nope, since so far I have not found a reliable answer to the question _which_ one I should run .. i.e. which patches I should use and so forth .. Is it possible to have a kernel that has stability and security stuff _as_well_as_ the low latency stuff? > Do you run ecasound with > higher scheduling (-r:sched_priority) ? yes, doing that. without it, the situation is even worse. > If not, than you will get > dropouts with other cards as well.

I mean my card is a stereo card but still apparently internally expects 10 channels, if I understood him correctly. I'm a little confused. All I want is to be able to record stereo sound with excellent quality on line in. An listen to it with excellent quality on line out. -- Michael Hellwig aka The Eye olymp.idle.at admin check out http://homepage.uibk.ac.at/~csaa5128 for gpg public key and don't hesitate to look at http://laerm.or.at ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by EclipseCon 2004 Premiere Conference on Open Tools Development and Integration See the breadth of Eclipse activity.
