+yes, but there are more and more musicians that want to use linux. Mainly
+IMHO cause ther was a wave of sound apps development started end 2009 /
+beginning 2010 that really makes linux more and more attractive to
+musicians, naming Qtractor, ladish and even some new native linux VSTs ..
+and new LV2 plugs.

+yes, since kernel 2.6.33 the RT-Patch even made my system less stable that
+the normal kernel

+Well ... the normal kernel is o.k. exept, that it still has the "Tickles
+System" activated. Deaktivating this really boosts the kernel for sound ..
+at least in my and other cases I know it did.

+
+
