Yes I am. Here is my laptop with Echo AudioFire4.

This time latency is 8 ms. Where, when and why someone needs something
like 3 ms?

I follow this statement here: "Apple considers everything < 10ms as
'good enough'. And the audio pro's seem to be very happy with Apple."

On the desktop machine I use M-Audio Delta 66, I have both - 8.04 x86_64 
and 9.04 x86_64.
Here is my howto in finnish for Ubuntu Studio 8.04 x86_64.

Btw - I used that Ubuntu Studio 9.04 x86_64 (RT kernel) on that laptop 
as a Flumotion server over six hours at my daughter's school -  just 
like year ago.

So to me Ubuntu Studio just works. Maybe I'm just lucky with hardware... 
or maybe I have done my homework for hardware...
