Hi folks, I was wondering if any of you had tips on building an LFS system for serious music/audio composing/editing work. I'll also be pinging alsa-dev etc. for help but I'd appreciate your input too. I'm a long-time happy LFS 4.1 user and I've already decided the next system will be LFS 6.x come what may. I'll be getting new hardware so I am free to choose whatver sound card etc. is best supported.
My cunning plan is: * buy the hardware * boot off Knoppix 3.6 * build LFS 6.1 * install the sound infrastructure: alsa, jack, timidity (if necessary) * install utilities: probably seq24, muse, etc., etc. * ??? * Profit! (Or settle for fun!) Pitfalls I see are getting hardware that is fully supported and getting the low-latency and realtime stuff working in 2.6 . 2.6.12 has merged the realtime rlimits parches, so I plan to go with that (bleeding edge I know, but I'd like to get the official solution working if at all possible). There have also been issues with NPTL, though I don't know is that's still a problem. Finally, I want surround-sound. I'm looking forward to crapping my pants in terror inside Doom 3.
