0.3.4...
I haven't seen a new version...
But after more tests, I noticed the problem is with Ardour 2.8.2 from
F10-repos. Ardour seems to works great, but there is this a char issue
with jack connections. So I reinstalled 2.7, and it's ok... Anybody
planed to package 2.8 for CCRMA?

Ok, I'll be more precise:
2.6.29.6-1.rt23.4 & 2: system hangs on startup AND in use/ have to press a key to go on. I get xruns without apparent reason.
2.6.29.2-1.rt11.1: seems to work, but sometimes hangs on startup (I had same problem with earlier version of Ubuntu and U-Studio (gutsy-hardy).It's ok now with jaunty.)
2.6.29.1-1.rt4.1: same... And I have a strange message just after startup about "kernel failure". I can't reproduce because it's not appearing any more. Maybe I said "never again" or something (???)
2.6.29-0.1.rt3.1: works well! (???)
So I can say that 29.6 doesn't work at all, and others work, some have problems. I didn't change nothing on my computer. Problems appeared after kernel updates, it seems it's getting worth on each update...
I'll keep using older  rt-kernels...
=>Juan: don't thing it has to do with graphic or gnome... I never installed drivers for my nvidia (no need, and I heard it's recommended when using rt)... I works well
