Chris, I did comment on it, see 1105222442.24592.126.camel@krustophenia.net from around 5:15 on Saturday. from the above message: Eh, PAM is a perfectly fine solution. Documentation is lacking, but it's easy to find examples. On my system /etc/security/limits.conf has this sample config, commented out: # # #* soft core 0 #* hard rss 10000 #@student hard nproc 20 #@faculty soft nproc 20 #@faculty hard nproc 50 #ftp hard nproc 0 So add your audio users (or cdrecord users, or whoever) to group realtime and add: realtime hard memlock 100000 realtime soft prio 100 Problem solved.
