AFAIK rtkit is planned for 10.04 (Lucid). In 9.10 (Karmic) your pulseaudio daemon can gain high-priority and realtime scheduling by editing "/etc/security/limits.conf". For each desktop user add the following 2 lines:
<$USER> - nice -11 # values from -20 upto 19 allowed <$USER> - rtprio 9 # values from 1 upto 99 allowed Each user who wants high-priority and/or realtime scheduling then may copy /etc/pulse/daemon.conf into his ~/.pulse and change the following lines (with leading ";" removed!): high-priority = yes # default no rlimit-nice = 31 # default 31, values higher than 31 are interpreted as 31! nice-level = -11 # default -11, lowest value allowed: (20 - rlimit-nice), lower means more CPU-% realtime-scheduling = yes # default no rlimit-rtprio = 9 # default 9, values from -20 upto 19 allowed realtime-priority = 9 # default 5, highest value allowed: rlimit-rtprio, higher means more priority These instructions are valid for pulseaudio running in user mode (which is the default). -- pulseaudio 0.9.11 ppa Luke real-time/high-priority scheduling not working https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/265010 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
