[Wine] current state of Ubuntu Sound -- my experience

>Well, some linux kernel developer whose name I forget wrote some patches to make the desktop run much faster, but at the expense of non-desktop services. The linux-kernel team rejected the patches, but Ubuntu may have them as an install option in Lucid. 
>Sound latency is supposed to improve dramatically. 
>Rumor has it, these patches are not incompatible with the existing real-time kernel, but I don't think anyone's tried it. 

The above refers to Con Kolivas' BFS scheduler. Google has a lot of information about it, if anyone is interested. 
I was probably wrong about it not being incompatible with the existing real-time kernel. Both use changes to the scheduler.
