Is this the actual use of /dev/shm or can it serve dual purpose and be
also set up as tmpfs for fifo's?
Yes this is the actual use of /dev/shm. In many distros you will find
such a line already in the /etc/fstab. And yes, it can serve dual
purpose.
Or...
|# mkdir /mnt/ramfs|
[edit /etc/fstab and add the following line]
|none /mnt/ramfs tmpfs defaults 0 0|
Then use --with-default-tmpdir=/mnt/ramfs to the JACK configure line
when you build it. No clients need to be recompiled.
This is just an older alternative, not better.
