Well, in the course of hunting down the causes of my latency woes I've

finally I'm getting actual userspace low lantency, I don't have to run the
audio app as root. With 2.4 I could patch it with the low latency, but
would still need to run the app as root. Without patching for low latency
I was getting ugly clicks and pops even when running the app as root. Even
under Gnome with Redhat 8.0, the xruns have dissapeared using the 2.5.x
kernel.

which 2.5 are you using ?
rusty russell's module stunt broke 2.5.49 completely for me :(
it's called a feature freeze 'cause it makes you shiver.
