Correct, assumed 2.6.39 is able to replace rt-patched kernels.
I guess some of you already use this kernel without any issues,

OT: Thanks to everybody for the hints regarding to 2.6.39. Later today
I'll try to get the kernel's ALSA stable :).
The last couple of Ubuntu releases have not
included RT kernels because
Ubuntu thinks no one needs one.
more likely, the latest ubuntu releases were based on kernels newer than
the latest available rt tree, which creates a very complicated situation
for distro maintainers.
with 2.6.39, most of the former rt patchset is now in mainline, and the
big kernel lock is gone for good. that means the situation should
improve a lot, and ease the burdon on maintainers of low-latency
optimized packages.
