Alright, so I've run into a problem on the timing front. On my x86_64 system,
using snd-rtctimer will cause a total system lockup within seconds, when the
ALSA sequencer is used. So snd-rtctimer does in fact still not get along with
SMP, and it appears simply *running* an SMP kernel, even on a UP system, will
cause lockups with snd-rtctimer. (x86_64 always runs with an SMP kernel, as it
apparently doesn't suffer the speed hit i386 does when running an SMP kernel on
UP systems.)

This happens with any ALSA MIDI app, not just Rosegarden. However, I'm not sure
if its something I did, but somehow Rosegarden is causing snd-rtctimer to be
loaded when it starts up, even if I take it out of my modprobe.conf. And it
seems to insist on using it even if I tell it not to. I had to blacklist
snd-rtctimer in modprobe.conf to keep my system from locking up.

Since I approved dssi, I'll get an updated rosegarden package up tomorrow
hopefully. (Summer session just started and I'm taking a few classes. 3 months
worth of class mashed into one month...)
