Well, right now with the mainline scheduler it works fine. The player gets more CPU time than the encoder. It was when I switched to -ck kernel (with a fair scheduler) that it didn't work correctly, that's why I asked about this "fair" concept in the first place. I guess once a fair scheduler goes mainline they will adapt things to work correctly again. > Regards, > Willy Cheers, Alberto. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
