Lee,
I was surprised that everything behaved/performed as well as it did, and
in truth as it currently is it should be acceptable for the demonstration.
Yes, JackLab and Musix are Live CD distros, and you may be right in
thinking that would be the best way to do the demonstration. I did want
to fold Linux audio into a virtualization demo to kill those two birds,
but that's not critical.

Anyway, if any MacBook or other OS X user has
found an optimal
configuration for running Linux audio in a Parallels VM (and I know
that's not how you'd do critical audio work), I'd appreciate any tips
you might pass my way. Currently, I'm using built-in input and output
set in OS X's preferences and for the VM, and in jack 1024 frames/period
with 4 periods/buffer in RT.
Folks at this WNYLUG (wnylug.org) here in Western New York are quite
interested in virtualization technology as well as audio work so I'd
like to be able to give them a good look at both.
I'd be really surprised if you could get JACK to work at that low a
latency in a VM - it's hard enough to get it to work native! You'll
probably have to crank the period size up until the xruns stop then
work with that.
Do any of the Linux audio oriented distros come on a live CD?
