My audio processing needs require a preempt_rt kernel. I roughly followed the guide:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/GitKernelBuild

with a little help from:

https://rt.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/RT_PREEMPT_HOWTO

Currently I am using the 3.4 branch (which is the most recent at the time of this post):

http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/

I think I have a reasonable kernel config ( for my machine at least ). Multiple trials confirm I need the option:

CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT_FULL=y

I have the following questions:

• Is anyone maintaining a recent CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT_FULL kernel in a ppa?
• Is there any interest in providing a CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT_FULL in the official ubuntu-studio distribution?
• Does anyone have recent config pointers for a CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT_FULL kernel?
