You can get very good realtime performance with a plugin that has 
correctly not set the RT_CAPABLE flag. Its full name is 
LADSPA_PROPERTY_HARD_RT_CAPABLE and the requirements for setting this flag 
goes for allocating memory, sockets, pipes, etc. It might not be that 
this flag is not set is the source of your problem. It can just as well 
be a bug in the "valve saturation" plugin.

Oh well, I just had to do it. :)

Cut and paste into snd:

(for-each (lambda (l) (if (= 0 (logand LADSPA_PROPERTY_HARD_RT_CAPABLE 
(.Properties (ladspa-descriptor (car l) (cadr l))))) (format #t "~A/~A\n" 
(car l) (cadr l)))) (list-ladspa))
