See my very short argumentation at
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Talk:Professional_audio

Discussing the Wiki page should be done there.

Please care about the details in the context.

I don't claim that it is impossible, I only point out that on most
computers those are not common latencies when doing advanced audio/MIDI
productions, especially if you take into account, that the Wiki about
"Professional audio" recommends to use 3 periods/buffer for onboard
audio.

We should bring into line the content of the Wiki with it's title.

Low latency is even not necessarily a target of professional audio.
For some live tasks, as well as for using the Linux computer as a
stomp box it is. For professional hard disc recording OTOH it's
completely irrelevant as long as you aren't doing software monitoring
with your onboard audio for "Professional audio".

However, this is a completely unimportant point. If you read the
discussion section I opened or just the Wiki, you would notice this and
you could see that I made a few valid points or at least ask for
clarification.

I didn't removed it from the Wiki, I only removed one completely
irrelevant hint and provisorily added a short, incomplete statement
about MIDI jitter and a section for mailing lists, just adding the most
important list, this one.

Regards,
Ralf
