Just have to pipe up and say three cheers for realtime-lsm. It was a very quick setup on my Gentoo Shuttle PC last night, and the got the latency of my PCI HDSP on that box down from a hideous 4096 frames per period to a wonderful 512 with "almost zero" Xruns.
Though that is not the gain of the realtime-lsm module: It just allows ordinary users to do things, normally only root is allowed to. It does not give better realtime performance itself. The module has a misleading name, there's not much "realtime" about it.
It is certainly a gain when I haven't been running anything in realtime as non-root since starting with 2.6 kernels!!! But yes, I am aware that the advantage is built into JACK, and not the realtime-lsm module itself. It's just that I can access it better now. Yippee.
But great to hear, that 2.6.10 gives better latencies now.
I was hoping to graft Ingo Molnar's RT patch into the "love-sources" patches, but maybe my knowledge of patching and ebuilds are not up to scratch, because I kept getting "Omitted Patch" errors when emerging my frankenstein love-sources. Anybody 'round here an ebuild wizard that could walk me through it?
(Is cdrecord working again? ;)
Oh yeah, haven't checked that yet. I just run it as root, but I remember there was a permissions thing you could do somewhere or another. Bit of a pain however ;-)
