I'm currently setting up an audio system on Debian

The system will be used for audio work only.
My sound hardware is RME Multiface and the PCI card.
Of course I want ALSA and JACK.
I wonder which kernel version I should try first, 2.4.?? (which one)
or a 2.6.0 test kernel? I'm fine with kernel source from kernel.org
and don't need a debianised kernel source.
kernel-source-2.4.21 is the latest available in Debian unstable, so you could just get
that one, as well as alsa-source, kernel-patch-2.4-lowlatency, kernel-patch-2.4-preempt.
You probably also want to apply the capability patch (manually, see jack docs @
jackit.sf.net). I think this is the kernel setup that most people use.
For the 2.6.0-test series, you should get the latest from kernel.org, since the Debian
packackes are some weeks behind.
