------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-03-12 09:24 ------- I think artswrapper should definitely be set to run suid root. THe only thing that happens is that is starts as root, sets priority 50 and then drops privileges to normal user. I have an Athlon 1400/512 Mb, and if I run arts without realtime priority, then sound stutters and slows down if I play xmms and resize a Mozilla window at the same time. With realtime prio, sound is perfect. Running Cooker. Mdk packager, please use realtime priority! /Peter ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: UNCONFIRMED creation_date: description: i have an sb live sound card working with ALSA. arts is configure to use alsa. when i start arts, i have the following message and the sound is horible : Sound server warning message: Can't set real-time scheduling priority. You need to run artswrapper as root or setuid root. This means that you will likely not be able to produce acceptable sound (i.e. without clicks and breaks). in root, the message desn't display any more, but the sound still bad.
