+1,

[1] the "real time config quick scan" tool is generally a good start.
[2] Disable WiFi and CPU frequency scaling helps here*
[3] Looking at the IRQ's, and unloading unneccessary shares
[4] For even more options, check
http://wiki.linuxaudio.org/wiki/system_configuration

Cheers, -Harry

[1] https://github.com/raboof/realtimeconfigquickscan
[2] cpupower frequency-set -g performance
[2] iwconfig <interface-name> txpower off
[3] cat /proc/interrupts     (then check for soundcard IRQ, and if its
sharing.. see if you can unload whatever its sharing with)

*other computers seem to be fine with CPU scaling and/or WiFi enabled
during work.
