Hi Frank,
   Even easier is doing absolutely nothing at all! Currently the
2.6.16 kernels I use work with realtime-lsm. My intermediate solution
will be to do no new kernel updates after the kernel developers make
this change (assuming they do...) until the Gentoo devs eventually do
the pam update. It's not in my future to mess with stuff like this by
hand...

   I watched (and listened to music) as Dave Philips successfully
lived on making music on an older RH 8 or RH 9/ 2.2.X-type kernel for
a couple of years while we all marched along messing with so many new
kernels I've now forgotten. Why bother?

   Moving to a new distro to solve a problem like this is so not me.
Probably the only thing less likely is me going back to Windows and
Pro Tools, and I'm not sure that's so far behind! ;-)

   Thanks to everyone who responded.

Cheers,
Mark
