On Debian, both jack1 and jack2 packages do already include that. ----/etc/security/limits.d/audio.conf---- # Provided by the jackd package. # # Changes to this file will be preserved. # # If you want to enable/disable realtime permissions, run # # dpkg-reconfigure -p high jackd @audio - rtprio 95 @audio - memlock unlimited #@audio - nice -19 -------------------8<--------------------- Maybe it's time to notify the debian-mm-team to remove the 'nice' line instead of commenting it out. OTOH it shows that they are aware that it's not strictly needed but may come in handy. > I can't see any reason not do add such a dependency. Or is there a > good reason not to do? I suppose it's simply pragmatic. Pulling this config out into a dedicated package might be a good idea. However I don't think there's any real-world use-case: How many audio apps support 'rtprio' directly (without JACK)? ..and how many pro-audio users do use this software but do not have JACK installed. I bet the number is zero. robin _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-dev
