Jack is actually the only audio application I have used that appears to require realtime-lsm. I've been quite happy with ALSA using a SB Live! 5.1 model SB0220 on a PII-266 with 256 MiB RAM, although I do run xmms setuid root to allow its realtime scheduling option to work and enjoy music without drop-outs under heavy disk load.
