I agree that most audio work doesn't sound like a very good candidate
for cgroups, but I've not even tried it yet.
I was curious however about how cgroup might provide a VMWare instance
of Windows running an audio app a better chance at fair CPU access? If
I load up the Linux side of my server with compute jobs (like emerge
-DuN @world) then I find audio in VMWare gets very glitchy.
Granted, I don't run emerge when doing any important audio but it's
just an example of how something like 'nice' doesn't always do a great
job. (A point Linus made in some of the original threads about the
subject...)
Cheers,
