Greetings:

  Antoine, in order for me to address your problem I need to know the
following:

	OSS version
	Linux kernel version
	Csound version
	Did you compile it yourself ? If so, where did you get the sources ?
	soundcard/MIDI interface
	CPU & RAM
	orc/sco files you are trying to run

Without that information I can't help you much. I'm using Linux kernel
2.0.29, running Csound 3.485.0b with OSS/Free version 3.5.4. I have a
PAS16 soundcard with MIDI interface as well as an MQX32M standalone MIDI
interface. For MIDI input I use a Casio CZ101 or Sequencer Plus running
on another computer. I'm experiencing no delays such as you describe,
and this is on a 486/120 with 64 megs RAM. This is a relatively
underpowered machine, so it will choke if the load gets too heavy.

  Feel free to write to me directly, I'll be glad to help as much I am
able.
