[proaudio] Re: [proaudio] Re: [proaudio] Has anyone experimented with different rlimits values in /etc/security/limits.conf?

Dominique,

Thanks for the reply.

It must be no shared irq for the sound card even at the PIC level.

My sound card is not sharing an IRQ; I made sure of this when I set up my system, and I just double-checked. 

You can compare too the output of "lspci -v" and "lsmod". You must have only the modules corresponding to your harware. It can append if you have more modules as needed with the kernel at, at boot time, the kernel load concurrent modules for the same hardware (specialy the chipset). It is more an issue with distribution kernel as with a specific kernel as with gentoo.

I have a meticulously configured kernel with only the essential modules and built-in support that I need.

I get better result with the realtime-lsm as with pam, and it is the recommanded way if you want to do heavy audio work. If you take a look at audio distribution as agnula or planet ccrma, that is the way they work.

I'm currently using only PAM rlimits (I don't have realtime-lsm installed), but I may try what you suggest and switch to realtime-lsm instead.  I had worse luck with realtime-lsm in the past (we discussed this via PM on the Gentoo forums), but I have since rebuilt my whole system and done a few things differently, so perhaps it will work better now.

Thanks,
Colin
