Oh heck! Another braincell just died and went poof! 

It's "planet" something or another. If I'm not mistaken it was a total
install, that included a kernel built, as he says, for a low latency
kernel. planetcrm or planetcrmm, something like that. Yup, totally
designed for sound, but it leaned heavily on jack-audio, which I would
think pulse would do as well now. People that used it swore by it.
google ought to bring it out for you. Ric
