Grammostola Rosea, Hi. I took the suggestion of one of the replies to your original post and read about debian pure blends, and at first I thought demudi was a pure blend; it's listed as one of the projects but is not actually a pure blend, which I guess means they might have updated apps and specifically compiled kernels to support various pro audio needs.
I want also to direct your attention to the kernel, as it has the possibility to be more supportive of those specific needs, by having low latency and real-time extensions patched and enabled. The debian folks (especially "waldi" aka Bastien Blank will say some or all of these are less stable than they could be -- perhaps googling around or asking him when he's not so busy will drum up some details.) To the group, I'd like to see Demudi become a pure blend. What are the issues?
