9.4 was broken 9.10 works very good for me...

no -  the opposite is true: with a proper rt-kernel you can run critical
 stuff on lower machines also. It just grabs everything your box can do

Not really, wait until it is stable I would suggest...
If you want to try something debianish go for pure:dyne or AVLinux.

Not so much killed but died more or less without big shock and awe...
Still OpenSuse is very good for audio with the rt-kernel from jengelh
installed...
