Keep in mind that all modern Linux kernels support pre-emptive
realtime scheduling, which is what most people are talking about when
using realtime priveleges with audio (like for jackd), but they are
often confused. This is supported in Ubuntu Studio, jack and
Rosegarden work perfectly fine together using the realtime scheduling
without a 'realtime' kernel. jackd and Rosegarden work as expected out
of the box on Ubuntu 10.10 using the stock kernel. A realtime kernel
is more suited for things like interactive voice reponse and hardware
based things where you want extremely low latency (like maybe for live
work).
