I've built the latest kernel with the  lastest RT patch (rt7) both for
amd64 and i386. They are  available already in the testing repository,
along ALSA 0.9.13 and and the new version of jack 0.102.20.

For the brave of you I've also built an ISO for the 0.9.6 with all the
updates (kernel, jack, and also xorg 7.1), it's here:

http://cdd.64studio.com/64studio/iso/

but I  don't feel  like   announcing it as  I   still didn't  test  it
carefully. However it's there if someone wants to give a try.

You should use

dpkg -i --force-all

and install  also the  jackd package  version 0.102.20. As  I said now
it's everything in the APT testing repository, so you can just apt-get
install it.

Please would   you try the  latest 2.6.18  kernel with  latest ALSA as
well? (again they are in the repo).

Outch, I'll have a look at this, thanks for the report.

Ciao!
