Basically playing sound. So that playback does not skip and can have

preempted out because of the workload of the machine and can't feed the
sound card soon enough you get a click. Humans are very sensitive to
that (more than to, say, a missed frame in video playback).

The amount of constructive criticism in this
thread is next
to zero, nobody even bothers to read the README before just fudding
around.
I am one of those who also haven't read the README. I have been trying to
follow this thread with a bit more than non-interested care though.
rtkit is a just missing piece of the puzzle that
allows distros to
enable RT by default for their desktop users.
Here is a small bit of an attempt at being constructive.
I don't think I saw any assertion in the thread as to the benefits of enabling
RT by default for all desktop users? (I may have missed it or forgotten it
though) What is gained by this? What are normal desktop users doing than
needs RT? (I am asking out of a large pool of ignorance here but I have a
feeling from the thread that people may not be seeing the benefit of
this...???)
