Can anyone make a wiki page about this on http://puredata.org/docs ? It would be quite handy to have. Also, I'd love to hear suggestions how to make this part of the Pd- extended package. I think it makes a lot of sense to have this a debconf question. I suppose setuid could be a debconf

The rlimits approach will soon be common knowledge among all Linux audio users anyway. Not everyone wants to learn about this stuff. Some people just want to install Ubuntu Studio and make music. hans, i am so much on your side here. ..although i'd say: 'some of us just want to install

I think it's best to put this on the wiki as a possible tweak. There are too many 'reasonable' variations. For instance, on personal machines I use my own login name instead of a group 'audio' (for simplicity); also, I don't touch the 'nice' settings. I've never had stability problems with "-rt
