I want to apply an rt patch to the latest stable vanilla kernel, which is 3.17.4 currently. The latest rt-patch found are for 3.14.24. Does that mean I have to use the the 3.14.x family, and can not use 3.17.4 ?Reason being; from above 3.15.x, my sound-card are working properly.Thank you.This is btw the link for the rt patches: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/

If you really need an rt-kernel you will have to wait for a patch to become available for the version of kernel you seek.I would advise however to avoid the hassle of preparing an rt-kernel for your professional audio needs. You can easily get extremely low (<10msec) latencies even with the preemptive kernel. This should be more than enough.
