The archives of linux-audio probably have a few gems of goodness, it has been a perennial discussion for years.
Hard real time, combined with the proper timer structure is necessary where you want the device to be sequenced by incomming events like MIDI, without jittery behaviour. Raising the userland process to realtime priority will ensure sustained throughput. I think it does warrent a more serious consideration of the Broadcom BCM2835 hardware relation to kernel for musical use. No doubt compromises have been made for Raspbian to be a general purpose all round distro.

If you can find where you read that, I'd be interrested.

Thanks for the clarification, I though I read that a RT-Kernel would improve on the pureData responsiveness for the raspberry pi, good to know that it's probably not needed.
