Granted that right now I'm running with pretty low latency (64/2)
which is lower than I had been using. This is due to trying to use an
external software reverb (GigaPulse Pro) in another machine in more or
less real-time. I have to go out of this box, in through a Hammerfall,
through GigaPulse, and then back out of that machine and into this
one. It all adds up.

I apparently already have PlanetEdge in my sources.list file:

# Main site, CCRMA, California, USA
                                                                                
rpm http://ccrma.stanford.edu/planetccrma/apt fedora/2/i386 core updates
rpm http://ccrma.stanford.edu/planetccrma/apt fedora/2/i386 planetccrma
rpm http://ccrma.stanford.edu/planetccrma/apt fedora/2/i386 planetcore
rpm http://ccrma.stanford.edu/planetccrma/apt fedora/2/i386 planetedge
rpm-src http://ccrma.stanford.edu/planetccrma/apt fedora/2/i386 planetccrma

So I guess I just need to grab an Edge kernel and try it? The only
thing I see newer than what I'm running seems to be
2.6.11-0.3.rdt.rhfc2.ccrma. Is that the one?

thanks,
Mark
