I've been using unpatched (for RT) kernels (2.6.32 and 2.6.33) for
some time on a number of audio systems, and they all work very well
with period sizes of 256 and 128 (didn't test any lower ones).
Seems like unpatched kernels are performing quite well these days.
The only problem I've had was with the 'nouveau' video module for
Nvidia cards - on two systems it made even a period size of 1024 
unusable (and I had to replace it with the older nv) while on the
others there were no problems at all.

Ciao,
