Hi :)

could you please add a dependency to audio/MIDI app packages for your
distros, that will set up real-time usage?

The following issue is wide spread:

        > add your user to the "audio" group in /etc/groups and check

        > @audio          -       rtprio          100
        > @audio          -       nice            -10
        
        Thank you :)
        
        I'm experienced in setting up audio/MIDI DAWs on Linux. Btw.
        setting up nice is nonsense, since it's for rt ;), but memlock
        is needed.

I can't see any reason not do add such a dependency. Or is there a good
reason not to do?

Thanks,

Ralf
