Oh dear....I was expecting this of sorts. There are a number of threads
out there related to kernel latency issues in Ubuntu ...

One thread I saw from a developer read something like..."it appears
that the Ubuntu developers have made every effort to make a linux
kernel upgrade next to impossible for users to successfully complete
on Ubuntu installations"

Note - I am *not* 'distro-centric'  - I am just the reporting scribe ;-)

Please do - you can imagine how many 'FAQ' entries are going
to be directly related to one linux distro or another, and I do 
intend to document such things as they obviate themselves..

One thing you might check, is that artsd isn't trying to keep hold 
of the sound device....(I recall seeing something along this line)


On a bright and useful note with this, I am dedicating a system box
here specifically for testing Jazz++ on various linux distros - this 
should help uncover things like this, and help me create useful
docs targetting what specific linux distro users need to do to
get Jazz++ running (properly..) on the distro of their choice.

The machine isn't running yet (still got to finish it off), but I'll
annouce it again (along with specs) just as soon as it's up and running.
