I'm thinking for the benefits that low latency audio applications will have from preemption of running task in favour of the waiting task just at end of interrupt handler execution (instead of end of time slice).
I don't believe that such a mechanism is already in place in linux kernel but I may be wrong. If we couple this with Robert Love full preempt patch we should have a reliable, "almost" warranted very low latency also during very high load condition (and also on UP). -- Abramo Bagnara mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Opera Unica Phone: +39.546.656023 Via Emilia Interna, 140 48014 Castel Bolognese (RA) - Italy ALSA project http://www.alsa-project.org It sounds good! _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-devel
