Hi

I have a laptop that runs debian/stable with a homemade 2.6.15.6-rt21. I 
use it live with csound5.Two days ago I was at a rehearsal where I 
forgot my power supply. Everything ran fine except 2 things:

1) I have a csound instrument that reads the interval between taps and 
writes a percentage of that to the delay time of a global delay (code 
attached). That was totally screwed up, and taps would translate to 
something 2-3 times faster.

2) At the end of the rehearsal the clock of my laptop was late (I think, 
maybe it was early) by something like 30-45 minutes. Normally the clock 
is just fine and I set if from rdate every hour, so It had dropped over 
30 minutes while running about two hours on battery.

A related issue: Today I was watching an avi-file in xine, during which 
the powerchord popped out. Suddenly the audio became chopped up as if 
the computer couldn't keep up. Putting the cable back in didn't change 
anything. But after loggin out/in of X (and keeping the power chord in 
place) everything was fine again.

What on earth...???? I'm clueless. I have disabled frequency scaling in 
the kernel, and the system is quite sleek running openbox and a 
minimalistic install. Any ideas as to where I should look would be 
appreciated.

BTW: All behaviour is reproducable. I didn't, however reproduce the 
clock strangeness from 2)...

Attached is my .config and the tapping csound macro.

Good one ;-)

Always keep your powerchord in place

The above paragraph made me chuckle. I was thinking, what he was
watching something and then his chord from rehearsal just popped out? ha
ha ha. Csound powerchords, rock on!
