ArchAudio

ArchAudio is an Arch Linux third-party, community-led project. The way to file a bug for ArchAudio is the same as one for Arch Linux, so you should read the following before reporting your first task:

http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Reporting_Bug_Guidelines

Do NOT report bugs to flag a package out-of-date, or if it is in Unsupported (AUR). In the former case, use our forums or mailing list - but only if the update is urgent. In the latter, use the Arch Linux forums (not ArchAudio).

You need to register for an account; the user database here is independent of the site and forums.

Issue

Apparently, disabling said option will allow for lower latency of USB (audio). This cannot be proven until a user documents as such and provides substantial reports of latency compare/contrast.

However, the kernel documentation advises “NO” as the default for the option, so there may be little or no consequence even if it were to be disabled without justification.

CONFIG_USB_DYNAMIC_MINORS=n

Updated in svn + built new i686 package. No problems so far but also no noticeable latency difference.

I say we implement this. As far as I can tell it’s needed in something like an office or server environment.

I do know for sure we will not get any substantial feedback since this is one of those that are “suggested improvements without obvious results”. As such, can close this on next kernel update.

Reopened in light of  FS#10  as it was implemented before the move to stable. Will be adding this to testing build and requesting user to test.
