Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: ubuntustudio-controls

I tested Ubuntu Studio Natty Alpha.

I understand the aim of this utility is,
0. Install /etc/udev/rules.d/60-raw1394.rules
1. To generate /dev/raw1394 device node, insert a line in /etc/modules.
2. To make the device node accessible for audio group, insert a line in 
/etc/udev/rules.d/60-raw1394.rules.
3. To enable memlock for audio group, insert a line in 
/etc/security/limits.conf.
4. To set nice value for audio group, insert a line in 
/etc/security/limits.conf.

This settings allows the users in audio group to use firewire sound
device with jackd and jackd can run more efficiently.

Here, Natty uses kernel 2.6.37 and this kernel does not include old
firewire stack such as ohci1394, ieee1394, raw1394 and so on. The new
firewire stack called as "Juju" are included. But UbuntuStudio Controls
still expect the existence of old firewire stack.

And after lucid, in my memory, it's reccomended that the limits.conf
settings should be in files under /etc/security/limits.d.

In Natty, new firewire stack use /dev/fw* as its device node and
libffado2 package install some configuration for these nodes in
/etc/udev/60-ffado.rules. So we can use firewire sound device without
ubuntustudio-controls's settings. And the nice value settings and
memlock settings are optional.

So I think the role of this software may end in Natty.
