Is Moode Audio a Real Time Kernel?

[swizzle]

There is a fairly significant performance penalty derived from making the entire kernel pre-emptable and given that as of the last few versions (may be .22+, there’s a bluetooth conflict that keeps the older version the default) mpd utilizes real-time threads on timing critical tasks I’m not sure there’s any actual benefit. I might try compiling an rt-kernel when I get my pi4 but it would just be for personal use - even if a rt kernel was available it would potentially introduce a lot of support issues and Tim is already overworked. Here’s some reading material if you’re interested...
