I suspect what we need to do is check what needs access to those groups. For real-time privileges it may be that the plugins working with jack need them, or it might be that just jack does. I'm not sure either what access the audio group is used for, I think for Jack it may be priorities rather than just the old purpose of access to audio devices (which pulse for example now solves through the seat idea afaik). Will check the limits file Brendan mentions when I get time. -- imalone http://ibmalone.blogspot.co.uk _______________________________________________ music mailing list music@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/music
