No, not the current kernel, as soon as you start audio production, even
a PREEMPT kernel won't do the job, you need a PREEMPT RT. Kernel
2.6.39.1 might work. I'll switch to mailing list digest and instead of
being on-line I'll do a production using this kernel, as soon as I set
up Debian testing completely. I'm under the weather at the moment, so
I'm neither busy preparing my Linux, nor I'm jobhunting (nearly as
important, as preparing Linux ;).
spinymouse@debian:/usr/src$ ls linux-image*
linux-image-2.6.33.9-rt31_2.6.33.9-rt31-10.00.Custom_amd64.deb
linux-image-2.6.39.1_2.6.39.1-10.00.Custom_amd64.deb

could be an option, assumed that there will be no issues regarding to
the hardware and 32-bit is preferred to 64-bit architecture.
Those distros might be ok too, but I suspect

At least http://dynebolic.org/ used a freakish kind of 'partition',
called 'nest' or similar, some years ago.

I guess it's useful. I like to add
