That's bleak.
I bought a Mac Mini to do audio on. It's got the dreaded hda_intel chip.
But with kernel 2.4.18 it works fine. Fine meaning: there's still some xruns, but not
enough to slow me down too much.
Right now I haven't been able to get it to actually *record*, but since I'm mostly
doing all-digital stuff right now it hasn't gotten in my way. Yet.
I suppose if I do any serious work I'll get one of those firewire audio external boxes
like the FA-66, which aren't too expensive last I checked.

During boot, I get the message:
hda_codec: invalid dep_range_val 0:7fff
many times, and I'm told this is the problem. I can't seem to find
any documentation on what this means or how to combat it, and the
usual channels have no answers.
As Paul pointed out, Intel HDA stuff is a mess. It's not the fault of
Linux but of the hardware which was designed to be as cheap as possible.
My advice to you is to get a good soundcard.
