I think that would make sense that jack's installation automatically
changes limits.conf to whatever they already recommend, wouldn't it? I
think ubuntu package is doing something like this.

Greetings,
Trying to hammer down the current recommendations for the limits.conf
file. Ardour advises that 'memlock unlimited' is a bad idea, but what's
the formula for setting that value ?
Also, is the 'nice' line still needed ? If so, is there an optimal value ?
TIA,
dp
My understanding is that Nice has been unnecessary for some time. Also, a lot
of distros are moving away from the use of limits.conf - don't know what they
use instead, just that my latest (squeeze) install asked me if I wanted it to
set up audio when I installed qjackctl and a lot of other audio stuff. I said
yes, and it did everything for me!

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.
