How is that any different than on Windows where you have to deal with ASIO, GSIF, WDM, DirectSound, and whatever the hell else? AFAICT only OSX has been able to solve this problem. It's certainly no harder to set up a reliable Linux DAW these days than on Windows. Look how many Windows audio sites are devoted to bullshit like changing the soundcard IRQ, fucking with PCI latency settings, and killing "unnecessary services" like, oh, the network, all of which are completely unnecessary with a decent OS like Linux? OSX might have us beat for the forseeable future, but I think we will be pulling ahead of Windows soon. On Linux for pro audio there's JACK and the ALSA sequencer and that's it, very soon it will just be JACK and JACK midi... BTW, this thread could not have less to do with the subject line. Lee
