You have to configure most things by hand, but the distro itself is very lean and tweakable, and gives very good performance for audio. Another nice thing is that the kernel is the vanilla source from kernel.org so patching it for low latency and preempt is no problem at all. You would also be able to grab prepared packages from my site at http://www.audioslack.com should you take this path.
