The binary nvidia driver?
Has latency problems as well, which is why people doing serious audio are using nv.
If someone can tell me how to get it installed on current Arch I'd be most happy to use nv.
Also, I seriously doubt that the devs would have let this go to extra if they personally experienced this problem. And, nouveau is still in development, so you get what you sign up for, to some extent.
True, and that it not a real problem. But as long as nouveau is still in this state, it would be wise to provide an alternative. AFAICS, you just can't use nv anymore with current Arch.
Yeah you can. nv isn't a kernel module though, it's just an Xorg driver, still using UMS. To use it, 1) Blacklist nouveau and nvidia 2) Install xf86-video-nv 3) Set Driver to "nv" in xorg.conf And, even if nv doesn't work for you, there's always xf86-video-vesa and xf86-video-fbdev.
