A couple of updates:

* rosegarden updated to version 0.9.9 (not available on rh8/7.3)
* seq24 updated to version 0.5.2-1

As usual, more details in the online Changelog...

NOTE: I'll be away on a trip starting tomorrow and I'm not sure I'll
have fast net access, so don't be surprised if I don't answer emails for
a while. Just be patient. Time to stop salivating over upgrades for a
while, and make some music, or research, or just nothing :-)

Best!

PD: For the FC2 daredevils, another test kernel is now online in the
Planet Edge repository. 

For tunables and more details see:
http://ccrma-mail.stanford.edu/pipermail/planetccrma/2004-August/005789.html

To install (after you have planetedge in your repository list):
  apt-get install kernel#2.6.8.1-1.520.1vQ3.ll.rhfc2.ccrma
To install the matching alsa driver:
  apt-get install kernel-module-alsa-2.6.8.1-1.520.1vQ3.ll.rhfc2.ccrma

(you can enable or disable soft and hard irq threading through /proc
globally, search for "softirq-preempt" and "hardirq-preempt", I'm not
booted into that kernel now and can't remember the exact path)

I have not had that much luck yet with SMP machines yet, on my dual
athlon test machine I can only boot with acpi off... for the smp kernel
install "kernel-smp#2.6.8.1-1.520.1vQ3.ll.rhfc2.ccrma" and
"kernel-module-alsa-2.6.8.1-1.520.1vQ3.ll.rhfc2.ccrmasmp"
