It's probably worth them taking a look at the work Free and others have done
in making reliable multimedia kernels for debian based systems. I'm sure
there's lots of room for mutually beneficial exchanges of ideas and
information here.

I'd be sad to see that work wasted. I've got lots of respect for what Ubuntu
do, but I find that DeMuDi gives me more flexibility with audio given the
main priority from the outset.
I would start getting annoyed if
I suddenly found I couldn't log in as root after upgrading and was tied

Yes, that is certainly a consideration. You can install fluxbox and
openbox, but I can attest that if you install flux, you will be left
to build all of your menus by yourself. As much as I enjoy tinkering
around with my computer, building the perfect menu is something I
would rather leave to someone else :) Do the DeMuDi
multimedia kernels not work with Ubuntu then?

I haven't tried, but I can tell you that I just *finally* got my
Radeon 9200 working with a standard Ubuntu kernel, so it is unlikely
that I'm going to mess with that anytime soon. I think the best
option for me is to start bugging the Ubuntu developers to start
making "official" RT kernels available.
