Hi,

I am afraid that I still don't understand limits.conf file properly.
Hopefully someone can explain me some details.
I have limits.conf file like this:

@mira - rtprio 99
@mira - memlock 8000000
@mira - nice -10

@mira    /usr/bin/jackd              nice=-1 rtprio=85
@mira    /usr/bin/qjackctl           nice=-1 rtprio=84
@mira    /usr/bin/ardour            nice=-1 rtprio=83
@mira    /usr/bin/hydrogen           nice=-1 rtprio=82
@mira    /usr/bin/jackeq             nice=-1 rtprio=81
@mira    /usr/bin/jack-rack          nice=-1 rtprio=80
.
.

Should I do something better with nice and rtprrio values to ensure better
RT robustness ?
There is also possible add "priority" value in limits.conf file ... Should
I use it?

2nd question:
In qjackctrl Settings -> Advanced ... there is a "Priority" option ...
How it is connected with these above? Should be used?
