As a very many programs have no problems with the Red Hat pre-gcc3 that is
2.96, I would have to say that it is a MusE problem, not a RH one.

To be fair to RH, they are funding a large portion of GCC's development, as
well as pouring a large amount of code into gcc3. Oh, RH 7.2 includes a gcc3
set of packages for you to use.

While some may cringe at the thought, I think you would do well to install the
Red Hat Skipjack public beta (7.2.93), or wait until the next RedHat is
released (all indications are that that will be soon, as there have now been
two public beta announcements). I'm running 7.2.93 here and like it.
The 2.4.18 kernel in it appears to have the low latency and preemptible
patches, making for a good low-latency platform.

Not so incidentally, many thanks for both of these resources. I Bought the
Book (TM), and it is good. And I use the linux-soud stuff all the time.
While we're at it on that, does anyone know of a radio station on-air
automation system in development? There are a couple of commercial ones
available (one is On Air Digital -- see http://www.onairusa.com/rshd.htm for
how they use Linux), but I'm not hot on commercial software.
