Current vanilla kernels are getting to be pretty good for audio use. Not

as good as rt patched but pretty good. If it works for you then no

problem. 
BTW, were you reviewing your logs and the output of dmesg for abnormal

kernel messages before using fc12/13? I ask that because abrt (a bug

report tool) is now flagging kernel messages as kernel "crashes" which

might had been happening all along. 
Some kernel "crashes" have side effects and you will notice (for example

your computer hangs and that's it :-)
Others are kernel bugs that should not happen but are happening and are

now being reported as "crashes" (and should be fixed), but in my

experience do not have side effects - right now, for example, I have

kernel "crashes" every time I cycle my laptop through a suspend/resume

cycle (2.6.33.6 rt23 on fc12) but nothing has broken so far because of

that.
