[PlanetCCRMA] Low Latency Patch

[brad stafford]

Oh no, I think I'm hosed.

I tried installing the the core kernel and I couldn't boot my machine.
Probably hardware issues. That's why I went with the capabilities
kernel.

Don't tell me I'll have to go back to Windows and buy a copy of
Cuebase... :-(  major, major bummer.

Brad.
