(not necessarily :-)
If it works with the standard kernel (and it is also 2.6.24) then it is
probably an interaction between the realtime preemption patch and that
particular alsa driver.
[but if the kernel base versions are not exactly the same for the
standard and realtime kernels then it could also be a problem in the
particular alsa driver - something that changed between versions]

So what should I do you think? I don't know all to much about Linux
but would the base versions have to do with my Nvidia graphics card
not working with the RT kernel?
