To add one more datapoint to the thread and (apparently good news): I'm testing 2.4.20 (final) + lowlat + preempt + acpi + alsa + jack and the computer seems to be chugging along nicely. This is with today's alsa. A slighly older alsa did lock the computer after 5 or so minutes of jack activity but I managed to reboot it with the sysrq magic key. With the newest alsa I got jack + freqtweak + ams (with the demo patch) running for 50 minutes until for some reason jack died due to a watchdog interrupt. Not bad. -- Fernando
