i can play back a single stereo soundfile, but playback will stutter as long as the harddisc gets busier. eg. i can't play 2 soundfiles simultaneosly under pd
i 've been playing around with many combinations of pd flags including realtime and pd suid root with no results. also doctoring around with hdparm didn't help.
have you tried the "-c 1" flag for hdparm to enable 32bit-I/O-support ?
the box is: debian testing 2.4.9 one ide drive /dev/hda e2fs on / reiserfs on /usr and /home rme hammerfall light athlon 1.4 GHz
this should definitely rock ! note, that i do not remember having problems with a rme-9652 and kernel-2.4.3 (or something), although i had to compile the kernel myself then. i am sure, that i could play-bac 2 files at least.
which soundfile-player do you use ? under linux i definitely suggest using miller's "readsf" instead of zexy's "sfplay~" !! could this be the problem ?
