I don't have any issue, I've got proper Linux DAWs. The GNOME applet isn't a solution since inexperienced users have no idea that jackd isn't working without glitches, regarding to CPU frequency scaling. I'm an experienced Linux audio user, but since a while very often people have issues regarding to a 'hidden' frequency scaling. Frequency scaling should be set by the kernel config and FWIW, it safes nearly no energy consumption to chose 'ondemand' instead of 'performance'. It might safe around 1 W, e.g instead of 45W for an Athlon dual-core, it will be around 44 W. I suspect that experienced audio users start their audio sessions by scripts, including to switch the CPU frequency scaling if needed, at least I do so. A DAW isn't a flashy toy desktop with all kinds of funny toys in the panel. http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=461470 Safe energy caused by a portable computers display. And if you think CPU frequency scaling has any effect to the load, than use the kernel's config for a default kernel to set the governor to ondemand and for real-time kernels it should be set to performance, so everybody's needs are fit. 2 Cents, Ralf -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
