[ardour-dev] Re: Beta 28 from CVS mtc??

[David Mulcahy]

Hello 
I might be out of my depth a bit here but just a suggestion.  I remember 
reading that you have to prioritise the irq of your soundcard to get low 
latency (with some settings eg preempt desktop or realtime) on a 2.6 kernel.  
Now I dont use CCRMA so i dont know if that is setup to work like that out 
the box.  If it is setup for that then it might not set the RTC irq (you do 
need this for MTC sync dont you?) to a higher priority.  Just a suggestion 
maybe someone may be able to clarify that.

Dave
