Well, my experience with non-RT kernels is that on my hardware, they are
not sufficient for real audio use. I just upgraded my desktop machine to
2.6.39, will see how it goes. Audio works, didn't stress it much. Of
course, for some reason, it has decided that my 17" 1280x1024 monitor
only runs 1024x768 at 60hz ... sigh.

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.
