How true... :-)
>> What sort of latency problems are you having?
I have xruns in Alsa, qjackctl is reporting something about 40+msec of
latency, and even the metronome in Rosegarden isn't steady, esp. after
the screen starts scrolling while recording. Playback of some downloaded
MIDI-only file is also not acceptable.

while I write this mail - IRQ3 is gone when I try to make music, because
then I 'cardctl eject' the wireless card...

Hmmm here everything is nice until I hit that 'record' button. Oh and I
try to do MIDI only for a start, no fancy audio stuff.

Hmmm - you mean kill all audio connections in qjackctl? Yep; btdt...

No, my MIDI keyboard is just a keyboard and doesn't produce sounds. The
MIDI out goes to a Roland SC-33, and the headphones are inserted there.
So 'recording' for me means only MIDI-on/off events. I expected *that*
at least to work.
