Anyways, i suppose you use a system with a local APIC. That explains the high interrupt numbers. Contrary to the previous XT-PIC older systems had, and which assigned irq numbers in the range of 0-15 [with some oddnesses], the local APIC uses a very different scheme. The old XT-PIC scheme was severely limited due to the small number of irq's available for devices. Anyways, you might want to read around on the webpage in my signature. It gives some clues on how to setup a system with a -rt kernel. To inspect your priority setup i'd recommend htop which can sort for priority. Regards, Flo P.S.: I don't know how well jack'ified Pd is. I never tried it. Maybe it simply sucks ;) Do you use it with jack at all? If you do run it with the ALSA backend, does it have a way to set its priority? -- Palimm Palimm! http://tapas.affenbande.org
