By the way: Is someone out there providing low latency i686 kernel images built and packaged for Debian Lenny? Someone dependable, with an apt repository, I mean. Pretty please... :-}
Ubuntu has a linux-rt package assumably both including the unofficial real-time patches and compiled with 1000hZ, but it seems to not be maintained by their main kernel team and is not updated as frequently - i.e. possibly not with as much love and care.
Personally I use (plain Debian, debian-multimedia.org and) main Ubuntu kernels. Debian kernel team sadly isn't doing the job to my liking - e.g. they do not include the old *1394 module needed[1] for external Firewire-based professional-grade soundcards. Also, Ubuntu provides both 100hZ (-generic) and 1000hZ (-server) flavors whereas Debian consistently use 250hZ.
- Jonas[1] new "JuJu" firewire driver will be much greater as it consumes much less CPU power, but is not yet usable: a week ago (i.e. not yet in testing) the last pieces of the puzzle for JuJu support in Jackd was packaged, but a bug causes Edirol FA-66 (and possibly other similar hardware) to not work. See http://bugs.debian/org/565342 .
