[PD] Drivers question

[smoerk]

you can get similar result in windows with asio and in linux with alsa drivers. 
are there asio drivers for linux? i doubt it...

and if you don't get low-latency with asio drivers in windows, than it is 
probably a limitation of you audio card or the asio drivers. it's possible to 
get less than 3ms with windows (2000 or xp).
