rtprio is intended to be configured on the ubuntustudio controls v0.6. I found some problem to set it up my self, you need to have the card pluged in to scan for irqs etc.(I have a firewire interface). I think a GUI helper for this could be very helpfull.<br> <br>I think we could edit the Ubuntustudio wiki page that Scott made, and start to lay down the ideas as fas as possible, so it will be easier and faster to people start to code and debate.<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote"> 2010/3/30 Fritz Meissner <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:meissner.fritz@gmail.com">meissner.fritz@gmail.com</a>></span><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;"> <div class="im">On 30 March 2010 06:17, Brian David <<a href="mailto:beejunk@gmail.com">beejunk@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br> > On Mon, Mar 29, 2010 at 2:49 PM, Fritz Meissner <<a href="mailto:meissner.fritz@gmail.com">meissner.fritz@gmail.com</a>><br> > wrote:<br> >><br> </div><div class="im">>> Secondly, I have recently seen rather exasperated comments (from<br> >> someone that I respect as an authority) that the mystique surrounding<br> >> "nice" settings is misplaced and that it has virtually nothing to do<br> >> with audio performance.
