Aptosid is basically a smoothing out of Sid, so I don't use aptosid
because they contribute great gobs of new packages.

The way you mention it, implicit that there is a interest by the aptosid
developers for Pro Audio Users, that simply isn't the case. I'm myself
was a sidux/aptosid user for many years and lately give up to talk with
the main developers of aptosid about the need of Pro Audio Users.
So, it isn't "their update", it is made by Debian Kernel Team, Am Mittwoch, den 03.08.2011, 22:45 -1000 schrieb

That's the one I'm talking about. Where it
originates, I don't know. I
get it through Aptosid.

I run that on my desktop/server box and I'm planning to put it on my
laptop. They do a great job of smoothing some of the rough edges of Sid.
Just note that Sid no longer includes the NV (open source NVidia)
driver. It includes the newer Nouveau (open source NVidia) driver.
Unfortunately, Nouveau doesn't support the older NVidia hardware ...
Their newest update now includes an RT kernel 3.0 as an option.
As far I know there isn't a aptosid rt kernel, but in debian/sid there
is a 3.0-rt amd64 kernel now. Honour whom honours been entitled.
True. Yay, Debian! Why doesn't Ubuntu include an RT kernel and throw out
that worthless PulseAudio crap?
Isn't that also a part of this thread were this
post belongs to ?
Yup.
