Sounds quite neat: did you test software other than audiostuff running
with this special wine? And what about prop. drivers and the kernel?
Nvidia etc -- they are plague but on some machines they are needed....
Yup, rt-kernel with some extra options/patches for those who might want them.
Any software that i have tested with this version of Wine (beyond
audio stuff) seems to work fine. Other programs aren't using the L_
variables / RT stuff anyway, so their shouldn't be an issue with them.
that being said, i'm not really interested in transgaming, using
MsOffice in wine or anything like that, i mainly use VST/ASIO stuff...
so you may be a better judge, if you happen to be running non-audio
stuff.
Nvidia should work fine - since i am a long-time Nvidia user (and I am
using the latest 313.09 with rt / L_pa), that is a must have for me. I
had hoped to fix my nvidia package over the weekend, but i had some
important / work-related stuff come up, so hopefully later this week i
can sit down and properly package it, but it probably won't be until
the weekend. (2013 so far, has been extremely busy at work for me).
I've got a small Wiki up too (now) that might answer a few of your
other questions, i'll be adding some more stuff, (again) once i can
free up some time (soon).

I don't do much with Wine, but if I can get it working on my 64bit
Kubuntu 12.04, with the patch for my wonderful wheel, and any nVidia
(NonFree) driver - I'd be over the moon! I'll happily test anything
on the platform too, if all goes well. It's not looking too bad so far.
The patch (which worked on 3.8rc3) applied to your 3.6-rt-L_pa kernel
source and I was able to select it in make xconfig. I also selected
Latencytop, which I've heard of, but not used. Build and install just
finished - with the (now familiar) dkms problems. I think I know what
to do. Just drag the script into an xterm window and hit enter it says:

I think I'll try just running with the kernel and whatever GPU driver
it can manage to work with, just to see if the wheel patch works etc.

Thanks for all the work you've put in already on this. I've a feeling
it's going to be very popular...

Just an update to say:
uname -a
Linux z68 3.6.11-rt25-1-l-pa #3 SMP
PREEMPT RT Wed Jan 16 13:10:26 GMT 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
and:
cat /proc/driver/nvidia/version
NVRM version:
NVIDIA UNIX x86_64 Kernel Module 310.14 Tue Oct 9 11:52:41 PDT 2012
GCC version: gcc version 4.6.3 (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3-1ubuntu5)
(The wheel patch isn't working right, but the gentleman who helped
me (did all the work) could be persuaded to investigate, perhaps.)
Thanks again.
PS: The script install method I mentioned in my previous message
didn't work. I used the official usually always works method.
