I found this interesting:

Linux version 2.6.24 (build@barbie) (gcc version 4.1.2) #1 PREEMPT Thu

Hmm... the FreeRunner ships with an Ingo patched RT kernel?
It's tempting to try to port JACK and maybe FluidSynth to it and see what
happens.
Hi,
Welcome on board ;-)
The kernel is a normal preempt. As others have stated you need "PREEMPT RT"
to appear. Just so you know, I had tested building a JACK ipk and managed
to install it on an emulated phone a while back. I know some changed where
made by Paul to JACK's autotools stuff WRT code optimization for this
purpose.
Jack did run although I haven't been testing it deeply... I doubt the beast
is powerful enough to run fluidsynth.
Now, if you or others are interested, join #openmoko-devel on freenode.
we're working on a "Stable Hybrid Realease" here. It's good fun, and
I'm
guessing that even if JACK is not what is used by the phone, all audio
hands are welcome. I got myself on the migration of the dialer to the new
dbus interface...
Cheers !
