Oh there is! :) I'm part of pure:dyne, a Debian based liveCD/USB/HDD
distro for audio and media-production, which uses Debians livehelper
scripts to create the ISO images. Here is a link to our project page:

http://puredyne.goto10.org

While aufs is a central feature for creating live CDs with the livehelper
scripts in general, the realtime patchset is something we in particular
need to include in our kernel releases for providing the kind of system
responsiveness needed for doing realtime audio/video work. Hence, for us
the cooperation of aufs + realtime patch is actually a continuing
requirement for future releases based on Debian + livehelper. The last
kernel we were able to compile with both patches + squashfs was 2.6.24.7
(if I remember correctly) but that version did not prove as stable as
later releases and does not include a bunch of important drivers for newer
hardware we'd like to support.

In short: we'd really like to see aufs compatibilty with rt-patches in the
future! :)

That version would be grand! If there is anything I can help with let me
know. I'm not a seasoned kernel developer but willing and able to learn
and help as far as I can!

Best,
