From: Miguel Freitas To: Davide Libenzi Cc: Linux Kernel Mailing List Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: Ximian Evolution 1.0.3 (1.0.3-6) Date: 12 Jul 2003 10:43:10 -0300 Message-Id: <1058017391.1197.24.camel@mf> Mime-Version: 1.0 Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Content-Length: 934 Lines: 27 Hi Davide, I've found your SCHED_SOFTRR patch pretty interesting, the idea sounds amazingly simple and effective :) Some months ago i did experiments with multimedia performance on linux kernel and ideas on what could be improved. http://cambuca.ldhs.cetuc.puc-rio.br/~miguel/multimedia_sim/ I think it should be a general consensus that joe user must not need to patch his kernel or run the multimedia player as root just to be able to watch videos with good quality. As a xine developer i'm very interested in help improving that situation. Please let me know if you think this patch has chance of being accepted into main tree, we can add support in xine for it. regards, Miguel - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
