RE: Is There Any Hope for Linux Audio?

Most music players that come pre-packaged with Linux distros (like Banshee or Rhythmbox) route the audio signal through Pulse Audio, which is the equivalent of Windows mixer. To get the best performance out of Linux, you need to use playback software that lets you bypass Pulse Audio (just like using WASAPI or ASIO in Windows to bypass Windows mixer).

A good discussion of how to do it is in the post linked below, starting with post #3:
