Yup, I'm using their distro as I got it from them at the workshop. Not sure which version it is, the workshop took place last June, so it shouldn't be old...
Building a stombox out of a machine as powerful as a smart phone...dunno. Edgar Berahl himself said that the BB is as powerful as an iPhone 4, or something. How much could it take?...And we did have some CPU issues during the workshop, especially with [expr~]..

Wow! Are you using their satellite distro ? What version of the beagleboard are you using ? 72 ms is definitely unusable for realtime effects.
I can't seem to find any info about the latency they achieve and this is a bit strange. A low latency is a sine qua non condition if one wants to build a stompbox.

I just tried out the latency.pd patch in 7.stuff/tools on my beagleboard and [timer] shifts between 72.5 and 75.4, if this answers your question. I've attended a workshop on the BB with Pd by the buys at CCRMA, it was a rather nice one.

Hi,

I wrote an e-mail to the guys who made the Satellite CCRMA image for the BB, asking about latency and quality of the built-in audio interface.
I didn't get a reply to any of these questions, so I guess i'll have to buy one and figure out myself.

One interesting news though is that they are preparing an image for the Raspberry Pi. It should be the first image for this machine optimized for audio, beside the Raspbian image recently tweaked by Miller Puckette.

And finally, just so you know : "I haven't published about it, but I can safely say that if you don't use the satellite CCRMA images, you will be sorry later on down the road. As far as I know, no one else is bothering to make good images." I'm not sure what to make of these statements ;)

Cheers,

Pierre.

I could be wrong, but I believe the Beagleboard is ARMv7 and the Pi is
ARM v6 - so BB could easily have twice the floating-point erformance of
Pi.  I'm not sure why and whether there would be any difference in Jack
for the two.  I believe (but am not sure at all) that BB doesn't have the
same USB problems the Pi has.  All in all it's still a very attractive
possibliity, perticularly since the Stanford people have tested and exercised
it thoroughly.

Yes, BB has a _LOT_ better performance than RasPi ..

Btw, if you want a cheaper board with BB like performance but RasPi like price, look at Cubieboard .. ( http://cubieboard.org/ )
