Hi Ralf,
much of what you seem to desire from Debian corresponds with the
Debian Multimedia Project tasks:-
http://wiki.debian.org/DebianMultimedia
"The Debian Multimedia project aims to make Debian a good platform for
audio and multimedia work. This basically means packaging/maintaining
multimedia applications and libraries, and collaborating with other
maintainers or teams in order to improve audio/video support in Debian."
With reference to RT in the kernel:-
The Debian Multimedia team is not working on including a kernel image
with the realtime-patches applied in Debian. Much of the
realtime-patches have been accepted in the mainline kernel, to the point
that for most purposes the stock Debian kernel is suitable even for
realtime-like work.
That's from:-
http://wiki.debian.org/DebianMultimedia#Realtime_kernel
Where you'll also find links to other repositories.
As the Debian Multimedia Project has some of the original DeMuDi (later
Studio64) developers - it would seem fragmentary not look for what you
want there first.
While re-compiling the kernel and tweaking the init settings may well be
beyond the base user - a "base" user should never be more than an
operator anyway. If the knowlege level is such that finding and reading
documentation is beyond them - then what hope do they have of using
Ardour - let alone Rosegarden?
Even kernel building can be a point-and-click affair:-
http://kcheck.sourceforge.net/
There are also the following Debian based distros that are optimised for
multimedia:-
64 Studio http://www.64studio.com/
AVLinux http://www.bandshed.net/AVLinux.html
Musix GNU+Linux http://www.musix.org.ar/
Studio to Go! http://www.ferventsoftware.com/
Ubuntu Studio http://ubuntustudio.org/
Puredyne http://puredyne.org/
I hope some of this proves useful to someone.
Cheers
