Everywhere I read seems to indicate that while realtime-lsm is still
supported in Debian, Ubuntu, and others, it is deprecated in favor of
the rtlimits in the 2.6.12 and newer kernels. I currently use the
set_rlimits 1.20 app to access this. So either I would recommend this
be included in Debian or PAM with a proper setup. I don't know
anything about PAM, but I've read that it's the ideal way, and
set_rlimits is mainly for distros that won't use PAM. I don't even
know if Debian uses PAM..
Yes, Debian based systems all use PAM.
Hmm, have you been able to establish whether Dapper supports the new RT
priority rlimit OOTB, and if not, where the problem is (glibc, PAM,
bash, etc)? It definitely seems like this should just work.
IMHO this is the biggest obstacle to getting low latency audio to work
by default. Even with a non-rt kernel this should produce good results
(5-10ms for 2.6.14+ according to my tests).
