Hi,
I have read several comments about the necessity of a real time kernel for music creation and production. However, others say low latency should be sufficient and our kernel is supposed to provide "lower latency", but this doesn't satisfy all applications.
You can't have both, it's pretty much impossible.
Not that I want it :) Seems many applications check if a real time kernel is running and show a warning. So I take it that this message is totally bogus nowadays, right?
Depends on what they are wanting to do. Operating heavy machinery with lazer cutters? Yes, it would be good for those applications to check for a real-time kernel. Audio playback, not at all.
So what would be the right kernel, settings or compile time options for making music on openSUSE?
Why does the existing kernel not work for you? Do you have problems with it? What specific issues?
No real issue. Just some doubts.
I often read that other distributions have a real time kernel for specialized music purposes. Therefore a lot of people ignore openSUSE because they are used to using real time kernels.
My main idea was to promote openSUSE more for music production and to write a SDB with general recommendations, etc.
Try out a bunch of the applications and if there are problems with our kernel, please let us know. greg k-h -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+owner@opensuse.org
