[LAD] jack / sched_deadline

[Leonardo Gabrielli]

Hi Tim,
that's an interesting point.
Next week I'll be in Pisa, Italy, for a workshop held by some of the 
SCHED_DEADLINE guys. I'm not a serious dev but I do research and I'll be 
glad to evaluate the benefit of SCHED_DEADLINE for audio and jack, 
compared to SCHED_FIFO.

Regards
Leonardo
