I use the stock Ubuntu Studio 11.04 kernel, which supports real-time
scheduling, with Jack, Rosegarden, Ardour, etc., and it all works
fine, no realtime kernel required. I'm not recording live audio,
however, but mostly MIDI sequencing with samplers but with occasional
recording of live guitar and bass. Using RME HDSP Multiface II
hardware also, with ADAT and SPDIF.
