You can simply install kernel-lowlatency from universe. With this one I
run 2 Systems (one with GF7500-Graphics, both with ICE1712-M-Audiocards)
with quite good Results:

128/2 - 5.8ms est. latency
about 5 xrus in an 8h-Session with Ardour plus few plugins
about 5 xruns/h with ZynaddsubFX, jamin, jackrack with 5 plugins, seq24,
rosegarde, Ardour2 all at the same time...

If used with some caution the systems can run with less then 2ms est.

correct!

You should map the slot of the M-Audio to a specific IRQ (pref. 9, 10,
or 11...) look here for details:

http://lowlatency.linuxaudio.org/

This must be done in the BIOS.
If this not helps I would consider to disable the Parallell Port (unless
you use a device antique enough to have a parport-connecion only ;-) )
and then the HDA-Intel.

Rule of thumb: dead men tell no tales - disabeling everything, that is
not really needed is allways a good idea...;-)

> or change its interrupt priority?

there is a tool from Rui Nuno Capela to do that it did not help much on
my machines but is worth the try anyway... It is available for OpenSuse
via Jacklab (on wich I used it...), yet I dont know for now, where to
get it for Debianoids...

good luck ;-)
