If the "new" scheduler didn't work then shouldn't it be yanked? And all the patches described sound like they're just masking the problem. Why should a modern machine have any problem playing audio when you could do it just fine with earily 2.4 kernels? This is very depressing. I have noticed I can start typing my password before su is ready for it since mid 2.4. I think it's obvious where this is headed. We can't claim Linux is so lean anymore.
