In Windows with Ableton Live you would be using the ASIO driver (which
is designed for low latency), so in Linux you will want to look at
using WineASIO + Jack-audio-connection-kit (Jack being a low latency
sound-server).  WineASIO effectively allows you to use the ASIO
driver, but it will route Ableton Live's audio outputs into Jack.  I
doubt ALSA will give you good performance, and i can't remember if
Ableton sees alsa directly or not. you probably better off with
wineASIO/jack.
