Give up on 2.6 for now. If you can't give up on it, then at least run
all (audio) apps with the environment variable LD_ASSUME_KERNEL set to
2.4.19.
When the dust settles from the kernel and NPTL, 2.6 will be more
viable. Right now, even though it works for some people, its not a
generally viable platform for realtime audio.
Hmm, except for some sched policy setting problems on NPTL, I don't
see bigger problem than 2.4+preempt kernel. For some people,
2.4+preempt might work _casually_ better than 2.6, but it can happen
vice versa.
Shouting "DON'T USE 2.6" isn't a good solution. Though, we need to
inform to "set LD_ASSUME_KERNEL as a workaround"...
