[linux-audio-dev] support for non-root realtime scheduling; struggle continues

[Kai Vehmanen]

Hello all,

on lwn.net's latest kernel page, under 'Quotes of the week', 
there's the following message from Jack (O'Quin) to linux-kernel:

We argued that the owner of a Digital Audio Workstation should be free to 
lock up his CPU any time he wants. But, no one would listen. We were told 
that we didn't really know what we needed, and were asking the wrong 
question. That was very discouraging. It looked like LKML was going to 
ignore our needs for yet another year.

I hadn't been aware of these latest developments. I then found also 
this:

Really interesting stuff. I just want to say a big thanks to Jack for
pushing the lad requirements forward! As we can all see from the mail
threads, it has been, and still is, quite a struggle. In any case it's
great that this has now got more attention also outside lad/lau and
linux-kernel lists.
