David - not picking on you in any way, just want to get the message
out there even more clearly: nice(1) has absolutely nothing useful to
offer any issues connected with scheduling processes to meet
hardware-determined deadlines (ie. your audio interface). People need
to get rid of this idea. Its not just "not the best way", its
completely irrelevant.
