but this is for JACK Rack, not a MIDI sequencer. we're talking about
controlling things from a control surface. why does it need to be so
"deterministic" when its already inherently sloppy? nobody suggests
that the X server and the GUI thread should be SCHED_FIFO so that
mouse-based control is "deterministic" ...
