And you prefer that people have to recompile the kernel to tweak that setting? :-? > - Inexperienced people get 'mysterious' xruns using jackd. I don't undertsand this.

But not all users are using jackd and there has to be a default setting that best fits to as many users as possible :-) In this regard, I know in other distributions (e.g., openSUSE) there are different kernels with different settings preset that affect to sound applications (like PulseAudio) aimed to desktop (-desktop) and servers (- default) but here we only have one main kernel, so do you think the default settings should make happy to just 20% of the users? I prefer a default setting to be "user-wise" and then have the possibility to easily change that default configuration at my wish. > - I run audio sessions by shell scripts, hence I can set the governor to > performance, while it's ok when it's set to ondemand for non-audio > usage.

Having a value for cpufreq different than "ondemand" will nto make any favour to the vast majority of computers.

I won't RTFM about knives. There are many advantadges in knowing how a knife is made or what type of knifes there are. If you are not interested on it, well, that's fine, but then you should go to a megastore to buy it one (no one in there will ask you specific question about how are you going to use the knife) instead of a specialized cutlery shop (where you will be asked many question in order to get the right item for you). I hope you've understood that in the above metaphor Windows is the "megastore" and Linux is the "cutlery shop" ;-) Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
