It still looks to me like it will be impossible (with the current state of the art) to enable something like this in a generic distro. Maybe an additional package that configures only this option? To be installed by users who (supposedly) know what the consequences might be? For that to be "packageable" /etc/security/limits.conf should be splittable into different files I guess, otherwise you would depend on scripts to tweak that. Anyway, does not look good either. Obviously it depends on what your audio needs may be. If running Jack without -R is fine then the problem goes away :-) -- Fernando
