Hi,
i am using Debian testing with libpam-modules 0.79-4.
I added
@audio - rtprio 99
@audio - nice -10
@audio - memlock 250000
to /etc/security/limits.conf and i am member of the audio-group.
If i start jack with 'jackd -R -d alsa' it says:

nperiods = 2 for capture

As you see there no warning about missing realtime-cappabilities, anyhow realtime seems
not work, because i got a lot of xruns....
What i am missing?
Do i need other requirements to fullfill to get realtime to work, e.g. special
kernel-configuration?
Debian testing current libpam-modules 0.79-4 supports rtprio (I use it).
To be sure just run :
jackd -R -P 70 -d dummy
in another shell launch :
top -H -p `pidof jackd`

If rlimit is not working you won't see a thread at prio -71
Don't be afraid if you don't have the thread at -81 you must have an
old version of jackd.
If you can verify this you can be sure your problem does not come from
rlimit or realtime stuff.
You will have to investigate more.
Goood luck.
PS. If you have a dual core setup I'm not sure your jackd version is patched
against some hw clock drift problems. Do you have the --clocksource
option when you launch jackd -h ?
