If this question was directed at me, I don't know. I simply package
software for others to use on Slackware. Since Slackware doesn't have
Pam, I don't see how this patch would be useful, which will mean having
to use realtime-lsm.

Well, how do you implement rlimits without PAM? The RT rlimits patch
(nice-and-rt-prio-rlimits.patch) has been proposed
as a solution to allow audio users to run their applications with
realtime priorities. While more complicated to configure, it's a much
cleaner patch than realtime-lsm and it's likely to get merged soon _if_
enough audio users test it and confirm that it works.
To encourage this, I have created a wiki page containing installation
instructions, links to prebuilt PAM packages, etc:

Some distros, like Slackware do not use pam. How could this patch still
be used?
