Hi :)

for Natty it's the same as it is for Maverick. My Envy24 sound card
doesn't work, even after editing the ICE1712.conf, that btw. now differs
by default a little bit to older versions of this file. I only added
everything that is marked by ######################.
I won't try to fix it by pseudo-disabling PA as I did for Maverick,
because today my dealer sent the RME HDSPe AIO card, hence I should get
it tomorrow morning and using my two Envy24 cards for MIDI should work
without any tweaks.
Anyway, this needs improvement.

OT:

I'll build a kernel-rt. I guess test scenarios like this are
meaningless: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RealTime

On-board HDA Intel at 44.1KHz, 64 frames/period, 2 periods/buffer = 2.9
ms latency? This is what a really good card is able to do when using a
kernel-rt. Never ever an integrated HDA surround sound device has the
capability to do this duplex for a real audio session, with or without a
kernel-rt. I often read about 3 periods/buffer and many issues.

The fix latency anyway is completely irrelevant for most usages. Jitter
and sync for the channels are important.

Cheers!

Ralf
