Gentoo.  That kernel is the gentoo patched one (with LL and PE).
At some point I might test it with the RME hdsp/cardbus, but I
think it will be fine, the cardbus chipset is TI.

I think you could even go lower.... i actually tried 64 and non-intensive
audio duties (alsaplayer only) seemed fine even while compiling.
It all depends on your target application.... for low-impact softsynths
or samplers I think you can get some pretty impressive playability
even from the builtin audio.  As it only has a mic input... i
don't think you'll be using it for realtime fx :)
