Kernel modules? What kernel modules? :-)
(See the second part. Well, maybe this is more for future installations
than for now)
Well, following Tzafrir's lead, I've just installed a 1.6.1-rc1 on my
vpslink server with a res_timing_pthread time source, and the sound is
slightly less clear but had no choppy sounds in the 5 minutes I played
with it.
I assume this has more to do with the time source than the 1.6 upgrade,
but I don't know that.
It's possible that a ztdummy driver on openvz provides a good enough
time source that makes it work better than Xen+pthread -- if that's the
case, lylix.net would be superior. A friend of mine is trying them now,
we'll see how that works.
As far as vpslink is concerned, I've been unsuccessful in getting a
ztdummy to work. It's a Xen setup, but you can only use a very specific
centos kernel, no matter what system you are running -- just getting the
ztdummy to compile with the required gcc-4.1 for that kernel is a lot of
effort. And when the module didn't work, I gave up.
OpenVZ consumes less resources. Hence you can use more instances per
server. Hence it costs less. VPSLink seem to price them the same. Most
others don't from my previous searches.
Tzafrir, do you know of any OpenVZ provider that charges something
comparable to the $8/month vpslink plan?
