Direct access to the sound hardware makes possible using huge discretization value, that's why Windows XP along with Mac the only OS able to produce a typical pop album.

If you are doing music on your Linux PC, I would like to know your best ping from some MIDI instrument to the headphones. Last time I tried to do that I could not make it faster that 20ms but it was in 2010. So, I do not use Linux for any multimedia.

Neat! It makes sense how more kernel/userspace abstractions would add more latency.

I am not, unfortunately. I've always wanted to get into digital music production, but sadly DAWs have always been elusive to me.
