[LAU] LinuxSampler higher priority than the audio card or jack?!

[Ken Restivo]

Now, how did *that* happen?

 LinuxSampler grabs priority 98??!

 Most JACK apps start up at 65, as you can see, below the priority of jackd.

 IRQ-219 is my audio interface.

 How was LinuxSampler able to grab such a ridiculously high priority? Who told it to do that?
