One important
thing to remember - if you like to get broad acceptance
you have to suggest a solution that solves these problems. I would say
that the rt_monitor or some other means to do the same thing is
mandatory to get that kind of acceptance.
I don't (personally) want or need at this point in time for the solution
to have "broad acceptance", although that would be real nice. I want
something that enables me to run applications with real time priority
and memory lock as a normal user. So far the options that target both
aspects (scheduler and memory lockdown) involve a kernel patch.
i'm with fernando on this. we are not looking for broad acceptance,
though it would be nice. it would be great if this showed us a
config-time option for the kernel, but i think its unlikely. more
likely than caps being turned on by default, though.
Of course there does not have to be just _one_ answer
to the question!
Let's implement both and let the user choose according to his/her/its
needs :-)
its a few lines of code to be commented in JACK. somebody try it out
(its in jackd/engine.c and libjack/client.c)
