The idea is to get equivalent performance to SCHED_FIFO. The results show that much, and it is 100 times better than unprivileged SCHED_NORMAL. The fact that this is an unoptimised normal desktop environment means that the conclusion we _can_ draw is that SCHED_ISO is as good as SCHED_FIFO for audio on the average desktop. I need someone
no, this isn't true. the performance you are getting isn't as good as
SCHED_FIFO on a tuned system (h/w and s/w). the difference might be
the fact that you have "an average desktop", or it might be that your
desktop is just fine and SCHED_ISO actually is not as good as
SCHED_FIFO.

On my desktop, whatever that is, SCHED_FIFO and SCHED_ISO results were the same.

with optimised hardware setup to see if it's as good as SCHED_FIFO in the critical setup.
agreed. i have every confidence that Lee and/or Jack will be forthcoming :)
Good stuff :).
Meanwhile, I have the priority support working (but not bug free), and the preliminary results suggest that the results are better. Do I recall someone mentioning jackd uses threads at different priority?
