You might want to investigate Ingo Molnar's realtime patches [1] (in 
case you don't already know about them). They are apparently very good 
at keeping worst-case latencies very low. I tried an older version of 
that patchset (just used it for normal desktop stuff) and it seemed to 
work fine. I heard that people use it for audio stuff, but I don't do 
anything much with audio myself.
