Sure, that's easy.  I didn't do it because I assumed it would not
matter.  Since the RR scheduling quantum is considerably longer than
the basic 1.45msec audio cycle, it should work exactly the same.  I'll
cobble together a JACK version to try that for you.

Sorry.  I took you literally when you said it was not yet ready to
try.  This would be the isoprio3 patch you posted?

Do I have to use 2.6.11-rc1-mm2, or will it work with 2.6.11-rc1?
