It may be off topic but I have these aardvark-pro soundcards that I want to use PD with in a linux environment. Has anyone tried to write there own drivers for ASIO soundcards and if so could they point me to some resources on linux sound driver programming?
Windows is kind of slow and limiting... I hear the latency for ASIO under linux can be less than 3ms where as windows is usually much higher, a hinderance for live performances. Any advice for reducing pd latency would be helpfull as well (aside of the obvious defrag HD and free up memmory and the like).
Sorry again for the tangential nature of this post and any help is appreciated!

you can get similar result in windows with asio and in linux with alsa drivers. are there asio drivers for linux? i doubt it...
and if you don't get low-latency with asio drivers in windows, than it is probably a limitation of you audio card or the asio drivers. it's possible to get less than 3ms with windows (2000 or xp).

You should join the linux-audio-dev list, see www.linuxdj.com Also read the Linux Audio Guide on djcj.org
For drivers, ALSA (alsa-project.org) can always need capable developers. ALSA is the driver architecture for pro-audio on Linux.

As smoerk said, there is no ASIO for Linux. There aren't even ASIO soundcards, I think, there are only ASIO drivers for some soundcards, for some not, IIR. (Correct me, I'm a Linux guy)
You're welcome to join the linux audio revolution. But beware, it isn't easy at first. But when did revolutions come easy ;)
