When I have something wrapped up I'll post a link.

The Raspberry Pi is a different beast and I just get better results with
the default PREEMPT kernel and some tweaking
(http://wiki.linuxaudio.org/wiki/raspberrypi). I didn't really do any
serious testing though, it was just that the RT kernels generated more
xruns so I quickly went back to the default kernel.
