Re: Tuning Jack: Please help me prioritize IRQ 10

This has been a very timely discussion.  I just got my son a new mobo, CPU
and RAM, and he's been having a lot of trouble using jack, ardour and hydrogen
until I followed the advice here and tuned his machine up.  Thanks all!

Here's a novel twist on all of this:  my sound and video cards don't seem
to exist on my FC5 system, so I can't run this command!

For example, my audio card is a Delta 1010.  lspci -v shows it:
02:0b.0 Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies Inc. ICE1712 [Envy24] PCI Multi-Channel I/O Controller (rev 02)
        Subsystem: VIA Technologies Inc. M-Audio Delta 1010
        Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 11
        I/O ports at df80 [size=32]
        I/O ports at dfa0 [size=16]
        I/O ports at df60 [size=16]
        I/O ports at df00 [size=64]
        Capabilities: [80] Power Management version 1

However, it's not in /proc/interrupts, and trying to use chrt as shown
above fails:
[root@xtc ~]# cat /proc/interrupts

Hmmm, where's the process for IRQ 11??

[root@xtc ~]# ps -ef | grep IRQ
root        33    27  0 15:28 ?        00:00:00 [IRQ 9]

root       897    27  0 15:28 ?        00:00:00 [IRQ 19]
root      1133    27  0 15:28 ?        00:00:00 [IRQ 6]

I'm really baffled here!  Has anyone seen this?  My video card (listed
as having IRQ 18) is equally missing in action as well.  Thanks for any
clues sent this way.
