I built a Gentoo audio system a little over a month ago. I kept a weblog
of the whole thing.

Regarding the gentoo-mm sources, I could not run that kernel with my
hardware. It would compile but kernel panic when I rebooted. Strangely
enough, I had to take the kernel config from a Mandrake installation, and
plug it into a stock kernel from kernel.org to get not only low-latency
but also DMA to work.
My gentoo system is alright now, but Rosegarden won't build, due to some
obscure little dependancy conflicts documented here:
http://www.all-day-breakfast.com/rosegarden/faq.html#toc13
And the most super obscure problem that just happened is Rosegarden CVS
won't autoconf because it thinks gentoo's autoconf version is 2.13 when
the package manager says it's 2.57-r1!

Finally, another gentoo user!
I am not sure about the mm-sources, but I do know that other sources
come with preemptable kernel and low latency, like the gentoo source,
gaming sources and I beleive that the ac-sources do as well.
I am building a machine to do just this (ordering parts today, infact),
and was wondering the same thing. I asked this question on the gentoo
forum here: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=49131&highlight=
I received some advice there, but I did not get the prolific response I
was hoping for however. I hope someone else has something
earth-shattering to say here :0).
Good luck on your quest anthony, I will be watching this thread as well!

Have any of the many gentoo users tried the
mm-sources. Is it
just the low-latency patch? Does this mean anything for 2.5 and
now, wow, I see 2.6?
