[PD] PD extended, Linux 64 & 32 bits

[Pedro Lopes]

That validates my statement to: "do not have the latest version" :) Do you
win anything in using Lucid versus Karmic? Karmic has rt, it works like a
charm, I can put jack with a latency of 9ms with H4 audio as USB audio card
(no drivers no install) and no xruns - running nicely. If I do not use -rt
kernel, xruns begin at that latency value.

Best regards,
Pedro Lopes
