Linux audio user might be a better place to ask first. Since you're
using Arch, ArchAudio mailing list might be a good place too.

Get rid of as much as you can and avoid shared IRQs. If I only need my
RME card, sometimes I even disable the Envy24 MIDI interfaces.

Often I don't use this script, because it doesn't really improve issues
that much on my machine, but you never know and could try as much tuning
as possible.

Perhaps the links are still helpful, I don't know.
