Maybe that's because such security mechanism are too young in Linux? Or maybe that any system-wide RT privileges are considered too dangerous? In these circumstances, maybe that a JACK specific solution could make sense. It would only need jackd to run as a privileged user (I don't mean root). Maybe that this would make its way into major distributions more easily than system-wide RT privileges. Although I think that granting system-wide RT privileges with a limited runtime sounds like the best solution. But maybe that this mechanism isn't considered mature yet. -- Olivier _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-dev mailing list Linux-audio-dev@lists.linuxaudio.org http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-dev
