Hey,
Now that the final touches are being put on the 2.6 low latency patches,
a massive migration of linux audio users to 2.6 is imminent. Since this
means every single linux audio user will need the realtime-lsm module, I
think we should push to get it in the kernel, the sooner the better.
Why make every user go through the extra step of downloading and
installing it? It's only a few hundred lines of code, and while I don't
consider myself a kernel expert I can grok it easily. I can't imagine
there would be much resistance, especially considering how much easier
this would make life for every audio-oriented distro.
This fits the new kernel development model very well, one of its stated
goals is to get the features that vendors and users need and that they
currently have to patch the kernel to get, into the mainstream kernel.
Anyway if the author does not object, I would be willing to spearhead a
drive to get this into the kernel. I am sure they will approve as soon
as 100s linux audio users voice their approval...
