Hi, not only regarding rt apps I'm sceptic, but maybe Snapcraft/Snappy are worth a trial. Has anybody already tested Snapcraft/Snappy with rt audio apps? Ubuntu 16.04: $ sudo systemd-nspawn -q dpkg -l libsnappy1v5 snapcraft snapcraft-examples|grep ii ii libsnappy1v5:amd64 1.1.3-2 amd64 fast compression/decompression library ii snapcraft 2.12 all easily craft snaps ii snapcraft-examples 2.12 all examples and demos for snapcraft Arch Linux: $ pacman -Q snappy snapcraft snappy 1.1.3-2 snapcraft 2.12-1 Snapcraft for Arch is available by the AUR, I simply edited 2.10.1-2 to 2.12-1 and replaced the checksum with 'SKIP'. From time to time people can't compile audio apps on some distros, perhaps Snapcraft/Snappy is a way to solve this issue. Regards, Ralf
