I just noticed this on my Fedora 17 system. I run jackd like this:
[paul@watt ~]$ /usr/bin/jackd --realtime -dalsa -dhw:0 -r48000 -p512 -n2

Everything looks fine, and jackd claims it has realtime mode. I've
been away from Linux audio for a while, but doesn't realtime mode mean
RT scheduling? If I check the process's scheduler policy and
priority, it is NOT RT:
[paul@watt ~]$ ps -p 20370 -o cmd,class,pri,rtprio
CMD CLS PRI RTPRIO
/usr/bin/jackd --realtime - TS 19 -
I've added myself to the jackuser group:
[paul@watt ~]$ groups
paul wheel dialout wireshark jackuser
That group is already set up properly:
[paul@watt ~]$ cat /etc/security/limits.d/95-jack.conf
# Default limits for users of jack-audio-connection-kit
@jackuser - rtprio 70
@jackuser - memlock 4194304
@pulse-rt - rtprio 20
@pulse-rt - nice -20
Anyone have any idea what's going on here?

A vanilla kernel nowadays already enables soft real-time. For jack you
even don't need to use the --realtime switch, since it's the default.
usage: jackdmp [ --no-realtime OR -r ]
[ --realtime OR -R [ --realtime-priority OR -P priority ] ]
(the two previous arguments are mutually exclusive. The default is --realtime)

jackd runs more than one thread. your use of ps(1) shows only the initial
thread, which is not RT.

D'oh! I knew I was doing something wrong.

Pretty embarrassing since I work on a realtime multithreaded app every
day. Sorry for the noise. I'll go get more coffee.

been away from Linux audio for a while, but doesn't realtime mode mean
RT scheduling? If I check the process's scheduler policy and
priority, it is NOT RT:
it is not the main jackd process which is set to realtime class (FF) but
one of its threads
[paul@watt ~]$ ps -p 20370 -o cmd,class,pri,rtprio
CMD CLS PRI RTPRIO
/usr/bin/jackd --realtime - TS 19 -
you should rephrase the ps command line with the -L switch (list
light-weight threads), like so
ps -p <PID> -L -o tid,class,pri,rtprio,cmd
or, generically
ps -Leo pid,tid,class,pri,rtprio,comm | egrep "(PID|jackd)"
