Ok, been to his place tonight go dig deeper. We tried everything, and

eventually ended up with 4ms latency + ardour without xruns. For some

reason (maybe 64 bit ubuntu/natty) renoise didn't behave that well,

which threw me off, since it runs perfectly here.
What also confused me was that although PAM (limits.conf) seemed to be

configured correctly, renoise with realtime alsa kept on throwing the

"not able to use realtime threads" warning on startup. This never

happened to me before, for me it's always been a sure sign that

limits.conf was not configured correctly. Strange...
Anyways, he's gonna use ardour, so although puzzled I decided to leave

the renoise strangeness alone.
