It sounds like there is active development that will make our studios better with time. Good to know! Thanks to the many developers over the years who have made our platform so good for audio production!

Re: Linux's USB Audio Driver Aims For Latency Reduction
Does this have something to do with the additional latency that's been referred to as "the extra buffer" with USB class compliant devices?
Reading the git commit would make me think so, at least in the sense that there's s a rather unnecessary chunk of silence introduced before the playback starts, but that the same problem doesn't necessarily concern capture.
It would be about time to fix that problem, or at least compensate for it somehow, tbh. The patch that generates the additional latency (for who knows what reasons there were for it) was introduced back in 2013. There are barely any other type of pro or semi-pro audio interfaces out there anymore - just USB ones. The RME PCIe cards might actually be the only currently available items that you can use with the type of slots that are be found on motherboards these days and that also happen to work with Linux.
