Well, there have been reports about xruns. And,
remember the resent
discussion with the wine-guy that couldn't get it to run reliable without
being root or have the capabilities patch?
Excerpt from the jack FAQ:
"""
Jack requires real-time scheduling (SCHED_FIFO) for reliable, dropout-free
operation, which the vanilla Linux kernel does not adequately support.
Andrew Morton's low-latency patches are currently the most functional
way to add soft-RT scheduling to Linux... However, special privileges are
required to enable low-latency operation, which can be acquired in two ways.
The first option is to run jackd as root in real-time mode...
A newer way to do things ...
requires processes to be able to grant their privileges to other
processes using POSIX 1.e capabilities.
