Thanks MichaIng,
I know people come up with these things all the time. I’ve actually been working on these and fine tuning for nearly 10 years. I read and used manuals from RedHat, IBM, Oracle and others to understand which kernel parameters can be tuned. Obviously there are a lot with a lot of different values for each.
After years of trying different values, settings and values recommended by the professionals and values I ended up liking through empirical listening tests I quickly found out that the old way of thinking “If some is good, more is better” does not apply to audio. For example using bruit force methods of applying the highest priority didn’t always sound best, in fact it most often sounds worse.
In addition, I learned that there is a delicate balancing act at play with tuning the kernel for optimal results. This meant I had to try a lot of variables to listen for what really effects sound quality and what kernel level tuning plays well with others.
Now after nearly a decade I believe I have narrowed down a small set of kernel level variables to adjust to give optimal results for all types of music and in all listening situations. In fact, on Debian based systems these values work for all music players equally well.
Give it an honest try and see what you think. I’m not a ‘real’ coder so I know it could have been done more elegantly, but it work 
BTW, they work as a ‘whole’ unit best.
