Yup, lowlatency patches affect all applications.

I don't know for sure, but I suspect that it won't work, or it works but
without any rt advantages. I don't know KURT's design details, but at
least with RTLinux the problem is that you'd have to rewrite all
soundcard drivers specifically for RTLinux. The general consensus is that
for normal userspace apps (like ecasound), improving kernel responsiviness
is the way to go. Check LAD (linux-audio-dev) archives for more detailed
info.
