Hi all,

I'm trying to tune my linux system to lower midi-latency. Seems like "-audiobuf" has an influence on it. It seems I can't get lower than about 20ms round-trip. (I think I posted my midi latency and jitter diagnostic patch a while ago). I'm using the alsa virmidi driver in between pd and my midiports. Should I avoid that? Any hints to reduce latency? Where is the bottleneck?

My PC runs linux 2.4.20 with lowlatency and ext3 patches, a recent alsa from cvs, and a recent pd from cvs.

In win2k I could only get 25ms round-trip, so Linux is better, but not as much as I hoped for...
