I'm running a gentoo audio workstation, using 2.6.30 kernel, with
realtime. I do use the audio overlay for some things, like jackd, but
other things I compile by hand since the overlay is a little behind
the releases. The 2.6.24 kernel is also known to work well with audio

Gentoo is not for the faint of heart, to be sure. You will spend a lot
of time getting it setup and tweaked.
