SOS: RT Audio Kernel & Configuration

Published 2. November 2008 by schivmeister. Tags: , , ,

Calling for everyone and anyone with a tried and tested – stable – config! Even if you’re not an Arch user, we’d appreciate your help in this matter as it’d make Linux Audio a less annoying hobby/profession. It has to meet the following criteria:

1) Can be used by  anyone in the RT Audio community; generic to an extent
2) Humbly stripped of useless stuff (this is why  we mentioned “generic to an extent”)
3) Patched and tweaked with utmost care and simplicity (no extensive patching like adding support for Grandma)
4) Can work wonders
5) Can drive and lift a Rolls Royce

And oh yes, we’re always looking for suggestions on which kernel version to use for the ultimate experience. We know it’s subjective and the point is moot, but at least it gives us an idea. For the moment, it looks like one or two users are facing issues related to JACK with the current kernel26rt. We can’t tell if it’s a borked kernel or a borked system, so more feedback (from more people) is a must (in the future)!

No, we’re not noobs (goes out to the Gentoo no0bs) – we just want a kernel which can blow people away. That is why we’re selling out.

Arch Linux rules, and so do we.
