I'd be interested to know how you get on with that kernel. Perhaps we 
can arrive at a shared config or even binaries that all Debian-derived 
multimedia distros can use. I know of four based on Debian - Musix, 64 
Studio, Ubuntu Studio and Pure:Dyne, but there may be others. Plus there 
are the users of regular Debian who need an RT kernel.

Are you doing anything with Debian Lenny yet? Our experience is that 
it's not really stable enough to recommend to users, so our main concern 
is to solve multimedia package bugs. There is no Ardour in Lenny, for 
instance.

I recently wrote an article about using GNU/Linux in a school music 
club, and because of that I was asked to help with music-related 
information for http://www.schoolforge.net/

Cheers!
