I'd got so used to jack complaining when trying to use realtime, when it
wasn't available, that I presumed it was still the same, and the kernel was
realtime. I should have got used to the rt suffix by now, having used the
patched kernels from planetccrma for so long.
Sorry for confusing things - you can of course get realtime scheduling
without having an RT-patched kernel. It's hard to get jackd to run
xrun-free without it though.
So what your saying, is that the realtime-lsm package of scripts may not be
too successful.
Do you know if there are any debian rt patched kernels available for other
debian based distros, that might work on Etch, or Lenny?

Thanks for the reply.
