Hi, about the only feature missing from quodlibet that I use in xmms is
the ability to run with realtime priority. At present, I get some
skips/jumps when playing tracks and shifting window focus or disk
intensive activity.
I left a reply when you filed a ticket on the Trac.
This can probably be solved much more easily by adjusting priorities in
a normal fashion. Jumping immediately to real-time priority is somewhat,
uh, drastic.
If you need root privileges as in the traditional RT approach, that's
impossible. Python scripts cannot be suid on a Debian system.
You mentioned lsm-realtime previously but didn't point me to any kind of
documentation on how to take care of it. Whatever interface it providdes
needs to be accessible from Python, and available to a normal user. The
GStreamer playing thread is not accessible from Python, so it needs to
work on a per-PID, not per-thread basis.
Thanks, sorry I hadn't checked Trac first.
I couldn't find any decent documentation on applications using
realtime-lsm, only what little was included with the Debian packages
realtime-lsm and realtime-lsm-source and and old article on
http://lwn.net//Articles/118804/ . As I mentioned, xmms has the
capability to use realtime-lsm, so its source must include the code
necessary to use it *somewhere*.
Regards,
Arthur.
