But i guess only morph-sources has realtime-preempt with "Complete Preemption" option that is very usefull for musicians for egzample. |
Last time I checked full pre-emption was an option in the vanilla kernel. And if you really need Ingos -rt patchset, nicus and other patchsets inclue it. |

I realy don't think vanilla-sources, gentoo-sources or any patchset i know have this options:
| Code: | CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT=y
CONFIG_PREEMPT=y
CONFIG_PREEMPT_SOFTIRQS=y
CONFIG_PREEMPT_HARDIRQS=y
CONFIG_PREEMPT_BKL=y
CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU=y |
I don't know if nicus has it. But i have no idea where can i find nicus-sources; google does not know it too.
I will try ck-sources with self applied ingo's rt patch. ingo patch allow me to start jack-server without xruns (sound dropouts) at latency about 10 ms. Morph has it all, but it looks like dead project indeed.
i'm sorry for my english |

Give archck a shot.
It's got staircase, realtime-lsm for jackd, and should run fine with it. |

Staircase is in ck too, realtime-lsm is not problem because it is in portage, but archck has no molnar's RT.
I tried to patch gentoo and ck-sourses with RT but no luck. I could expext that. I didn't try to patch vanilla-sources because i had problem with running jack as normal user on it even with realtime-lsm.
Is arckck your job?  |

Archck is my job. Give it a shot. Afaik, ingo's patches apply to his scheduler, O, the vanilla one. CK's is different, Con's Staircase, which I know is more than capable for what you need. |

I have Agnula installed. http://demudi.agnula.org/ It is the best audio distributiion lying around. The kernell is a vanilla kernel with the Ingo's rt patch, the realtime-lsm modules and 2 nice scripts to define the realtime priorities at boot time. I can run jack with 128 frames, 2 periods at 48kHz with no audible xruns, latency 5.33 ms. (P4 1.8GHz and Audigy2)
I am in my way to try to adapt it to Gentoo. I have done a fresh stage 3 install, a stage 3 to stage 1 in order to get gcc 3.4.4 https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-400576-highlight-rsync+make+conf.html . The kernel is a 2.6.14.2 with Ingo Molnar's patch. Xorg is working, and i am no in my way to install some fluxbox, some parts of gnome and sound applications to be abble to test it.
To be abble to run jack with realtime priorities, you must manage the irq. First the hardware irq in order to set the rtc with the higher irq in the system, followed by the sound card, followed by the other things, one by one. By doing this, you tell the system at the sound cannot be interrupted by another hardware process.
Second, you must instruct the system at the audio group have a higher priority as all the other groups, and you must be in the audio group. With this, you tell the system at your programs have a higher priority as the other and jack will run just fine will rt priority as user process.
To be abble to do that, you must have shedutils and use chrt. The 2 scripts in Agnula do the whole thing at boot time. But they are using the system 5 init process: | Code: | | /etc/init.d/rtirq <start-restart-stop> |
For now, i have just make a minor modification in one script and put 2 lines in /etc/conf.d/local.start and local.stop to start and stop those scripts. Is it some documentation telling how to adapt an init 5 process to gentoo?

It's rocks. Actually, I am abble to use jack with either 96kHz, 256 frames, 2 periods, latency 5,33 ms, and 48kHz or 444.1 kHz, 128 frames, 2 periods, latency 5,33 or 5,8 ms without audible xruns.
It append sometime when starting a programs at iI get a few xruns and audible scratches, but no xruns or scratches when i use the programs.
That was with gnome, i have not yet configured fluxbox.

No release for months, its well and truly dead.
if you are lookin for a patchset, theres nitro for performance and instability, and archck for performance and stability.

After reading /usr/src/linux/Documentation/sound/alsa/emu10k1-jack.txt and according my jack config as suggested, I am now able to run jack with a latency of 1.33msec at 48kHz and 0.667 msec at 96kHz. Its rock!
Here is some scripts I run at boot time:

I added an ebuild to my pro_audio_music_portage_overlay for the rtirq-init-script
and adjusted it a bit to match the gentoo-init-style -- hope nothing broke
thx for the hint
original script was: mailinglist: PlanetCCRMA |

You are welcome.
The kernel development is going very fast, and the realtime-lsm module is now obsolete.
The future will be a PAM realtime kernel with rt-limit, but I believe at it is best to wait until the rt-limit has proved at it is as reliable as the realtime-lsm. 
alsa and PAM
Rlimits-Aware PAM

Just wanted to say that those init scripts are awesome!
I had to test it out of course. I did an 'emerge sync' and opened up firefox, openoffice, limewire and some other heavily hitters. The load went through the roof and the CPU usage for X went up to about 80 or 90 and the desktop became pretty unresponsive in general. But I could play a few songs and record in ardour without incident! And this is on my p3! I can't wait to see how many tracks I can stack on now.

The 2 files /etc/init.d/realtime and /etc/default/realtime are not needed on gentoo. It is enough to edit /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 <-- add realtime there
and /etc/modules.d/realtime | Code: | | options realtime gid=18 |
We get no boot message, but the result is the same.
You will get the last file when emerging realtime-lsm, but not if you are installing this module with the rt-sources on evermind's audio-pro overlay. It is of course my favorite gentoo overlay and I recommand to install it.
