[linux-audio-dev] kernel 2.6

[Michael Ost]

Is there SCHED_FIFO style priority available in the new kernel, with its
new threading model? Realtime audio processing doesn't share the CPU
very well. The ear can pick out even the slightest glitches or delays.
So for Linux to be usable for audio applications or embedded audio
devices it needs something like SCHED_FIFO.
