So you might not need a "special kernel" if your distribution provides it in the standard kernel. Note that the standard Ubuntu Dapper kernel works well with jack to provide low-latency audio.

Is it doable without a sound server?

It’s also mentioned in the GSmartMix discussion: http://live.gnome.org/GSmartMix/Discussions.

It is as good (bad) as jack. For me the best will be combination of jack (2 periods - one playing, one processing + usage of jack applications for low latency) and alsa dmix plugin (for others latency not critical applications) + some sound processing (upmixing, downmixing, I/O connector handling, speaker configuration, ...), but it should be on lower level as Polyaudio, just above alsa. It should use (export) normal normal alsa api (and not something new or old - esd, polyaudio, ...) and jack api. I don’t think Polyaudio (Pulse) is the best for this work.

Ubuntu breezy played a bongo sound (a very inapropriate sound as it is too long and busy, imho) on almost every click and I found It incredibly annoying that the sound was mostly played well after the click and that the latencies varied wildly.
