I just checked the patch (which is 2 years old now -- does it still
work?). As far as I can see, in order to apply it one would have to
disable the default Linux capabilities (CONFIG_SECURITY_CAPABILITIES),
which is what we've been using so far -- it's not possible to have
that capabilities configured as module anymore.

What about Ingo Molnar's preempt-rt patch? Isn't it an option for
realtime audio? :
