Hi and thanks for the replies!

Actually, regarding latency, I'm running with 2.9ms right now (64 buffers 2

periods), and it's rock solid.

The problem is that soon there will be no more support for my rt kernel.

20ms. would be a huge downgrade for me, as tracking becomes a bit

problematic with such figures.
