[ardour-users] What kernel are you running?

[lee at fallingforward.net]

Gentoo Linux 2004.1 Kernel 2.6.4_rc1

Everything is sort of normal. Had to load the EMI 2|6 sound driver
manually 'modprobe -v snd_usb_audio' but audio latency is feeling alright.

Did have a big reproducable Ardour crash, which someone else beat me to on
