low latency operation with realtime privilege for the user has been  
working fine for a while.

Ubuntu Studio ships with linux-lowlatency, which is not a -rt kernel, but  
quite well performing.

What you could do is download the live dvd, and try it before installing  
it to give it a go.

To get realtime privilege on regular Ubuntu, just install jackd, answer  
yes to realtime, and add yourself to audio group. Also, for better  
performance, install linux-lowlatency.
