I'll give it a shot tonight if time permits... Thing is I had done improved
instructions for this on the webpage but it seems it got lost with the
unfortunate rollback of the server. I forgot to put it in the README, in
which case all would have been well.

This is one of the things that can be reconfigured which I listed before. I
believe it's another proc/sys register.

Yeah, about that. I haven't gotten around to debate this, I thought I would
just voice a slight reluctance for this.
Making ALSA optional, to remove a dependency is well and all, but I worry
it means changing the internals in a way that we loose timing, both latency
and jitter.
This is mostly just a fear and it's not necessarily true, I just wish us to
be aware of this risk.
I'm not sure how this is implemented in jack but running with big buffers
won't that directly incur a latency penalty that we are completely immune
to with the alsa sequencer support?

Robert
