Re: [linux-audio-user] Advice on FC5

Hi Tim,

I don't know whether anyone uses Fedora without planetCCRMA for audio
(?), so maybe a compromise - FC4+planetCCRMA - is in order?

Yes, latency is still a big issue regardless of how many tracks are
involved. You need to search the (recent) archives of this list, and
the FC5 docs, for set_rtlimits, PAM, and the kernel version number.
You can get good low latency performance with a recent mainstream
kernel, they say!

Also, you'll have to do some reading to see what packages will be
available to you, and what you'll have to compile yourself.
