yep, this works for me ... here are my PAM settings in
limits.conf:

@audio - rt_priority 100

i've got a total of 512mb RAM, so i thought half of that would be
appropriate ... is this setting ok/too high/too low?
Maybe. Depends on what JACK clients you run (they all get mlocked).
Ardour takes up quite a lot of space. If you're willing to grant the
max priority (100), your system is probably a dedicated audio
workstation, so you might just as well make memlock "unlimited".
There is also the -m (--no-mlock) JACK option that disables memory
locking even with the -R (--realtime) option.
