I usually try to get 5ms or less of latency with 41000 smaple rate and
64 frames/period and 2 periods/buffer.
I do use JACK and I usually limit my self to use JACK as a guitar
effects processor. I think it will also work fine with a recording app
like qtractor as well. Actaully I was getting super low latency with the
liunxDSP reverb effect. About 1.667ms believe it or not :) Here is a
link to the patch and the kernel to patch against
http://users.on.net/~ckolivas/kernel/. I think this is a better
alternative b/c it does not require any c group privileges.
I don't understand. Maybe you mean realtime group privileges?
Please feel
free to try it and let me know what you thought. The maintainer of the
patch can be found on OFTC at #ck. Btw I get freezes with the ccrma F14
kerenel-rt. Is this normal?
No, of course not!
And it will never get fixed if nobody reports the problem :-)
Do you seen anything in the logs after you reboot your machine?
I will release a newer rt kernel shortly (based on rt31), so it might
have fixes.
