Every app can create its own RT threads these days.

Agreed. why not make it prio 98 by default then? (system timer should still be higher i suppose). With a difference of only 10 between main jack loop and the watchdog, it might get a little crowded :) Flo -- Palimm Palimm! http://tapas.affenbande.org
