[By the way: Problem solved :) - I finally could compile the kernel. I
sent a mail before - but unfortunately not to the list :( Sorry!]

Hi Joern :)

Thanks! The next time I know better :)

I have to admit that - beyond having the wish to get rid of all these
ugly glitches when using sound applications - I don't have the time to
get deeper involved into the kernel...

My strategy is to get the configuration of the newest debian kernel, to
use it as a template for the vanilla kernel and to hit [enter] for all
new configuration options in a big and naive confidence that the default
values make sense :) Bad, I know, but I really don't have the time to
study and read about all these options...

Some day I plan to finally work through all those kernel books I already
bought, some day...

That's why I think it would be great for people like me to have the
option to just install a realtime kernel from the (in my case debian)
repository at the place of misusing the time of people like you who
could make better use of it for development with the goal to finally
make linux work with audio out of the box...

Unfortunately it seems that people like you - doing linux and music -
are an exception and that most linux guys don't see any sense in making
linux a multi-media operating system. A big fault as I think, as most
people (at least in Japan) use their computer to play around with film,
photo and music and not for hacking servers like me :)

Of course I could switch (from debian sid) to ubuntu studio...
But I am still not there...

Good luck and thanks again,

Dietrich
