The only things I can think of probably have already been considered. Everywhere I read seems to indicate that while realtime-lsm is still supported in Debian, Ubuntu, and others, it is deprecated in favor of the rtlimits in the 2.6.12 and newer kernels. I currently use the set_rlimits 1.20 app to access this. So either I would recommend this be included in Debian or PAM with a proper setup. I don't know anything about PAM, but I've read that it's the ideal way, and set_rlimits is mainly for distros that won't use PAM. I don't even know if Debian uses PAM.. I don't know if Debian will allow a kernel with Ingo's -rt patch, but from my small amount of testing, it is the way to go. I'm trying to get one into Ubuntu, and so far, Mark has told me "don't worry, you'll get it." There is a lot of software that I didn't see in Debian that some other musicians would like to see as well. I believe the dssi stuff has an ITP now, so that's a good thing.
