I could have stated that a bit better :-P  Of course audio benefits 
greatly from the rt patches.  What was meant is that rt does *much* more 
than just improve audio, and some of what it does doesn't necessarily 
work in a beneficial way for your average Linux Multimedia Desktop.

Or of course I could be extracting the wrong information from articles 
like these:

http://schivmeister.wordpress.com/2009/09/28/linux-audio-to-rt-or-to-bfs

But anyway, what matters here is that when it comes to audio latencies, 
I see no real difference between an rt kernel and a BFS one, so meh :-)
