Count me in as being surprised. I would imagine it would be natural to include the LAD community in such a discussion. If not _all_ of LAD, then I would imagine I would at least invite the Jack developers to participate. If not _all_ of them, then at least a small subset (the main developers). After all Jack users, developers, packagers, system administrators, etc, have been dealing with this very same issue publicly for many many years[*] and were part of previous discussions about this... Oh well... -- Fernando [*] in my case since 2001 or so (when Planet CCRMA went public - but if I remember correctly I was using realtime scheduling access methods for non-root users at CCRMA even before that). My memory is fuzzy, but I may have the dubious distinction of being the first to add a way to access SCHED_FIFO to jackd as a non-root user using capabilities, as I needed that for CCRMA (based on code in, I think, muse - or was it some other program?). A very ugly hack that hopefully has been purged from the jack source code a long time ago :-) _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-dev
