Nothing. Except that nothing is done in a "few spare minutes", of course :-) That's what I'm doing at Planet CCRMA[*], except that the extra ALSA kernel modules are currently only built for the Planet CCRMA kernels (which include Ingo Molnar's low latency patch configured as either PREEMPT_DESKTOP or PREEMPT_RT), and not for the "standard" Fedora kernels. -- Fernando [*] I've been doing this, ie: kernel + alsa since well before ALSA was integrated into the standard kernel tree (circa 9/2001). Nothing really changed when ALSA was integrated to the kernel. _______________________________________________ Alsa-user mailing list Alsa-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-user
