Actually I did some more tuning and I got realtime csound running straight through alsa to work fine, I'm not getting any dropouts. This is great so now I need to see if I can get Blue to run with the realtime features, but I need to install java first, I have ruby and python, but no java yet. I was able to get the python bindings to work and csoundac with python.

Since I'm just using csound I don't need to worry about jack having latency issues, as long as I'm running just csound through alsa it works fine in realtime, even without recompiling the kernel.

I got this working, I may need to build a custom kernel to get realtime performance. Right now the sound breaks up in realtime, but I can write and render csound.

I had to remove gnome since it was too huge, with gnome it took all but 250 megs of space, but with window maker I have over 1 gig leftover.

I got jack installed but then found the audio latency was too great with the "vanilla" kernel to make it usuable.
