Does ext3 play nice with an RT kernel, or is it the journaling that

All in all I don't think it matters much. In general I think either is
fine for audio. I typically use vfat for audio partitions so that I
can easily move the 1394 drive to a Windows box without any bother.
If I was going to make the choice you suggest I'd likely go for ext2
as requires slightly less work for the system than carrying the
overhead of doing the ext3 stuff and I figure that I would never know
when I'm going to run out of compute cycles. Also I believe that ext3
keeps the extra information in a separate location on the drive from
the data which requires extra head seeking and slows things down a bit
at times.
Don't know about that, but a friend of mine who migrated his file server
from ext2 to ext3 reported getting 2-3 times the throughput on large
network transfers to the server. I'd think that might have some impact
on recording speed.
