As ridiculous as having to start another program before being able to
get audio in and out of Ardour? ;)

As I wrote, PAM is another solution and it's the one to prefer in the
long run, but it's the harder one to get right now, *if* your
distribution doesn't have patched packages. (Does Slackware still ship
without PAM?) The set_rtlimits approach is dead simple compared to
that. It even is dead simple compared to realtime-LSM, if someone
doesn't want to mess with kernel-modules, because it is completely in
userspace.

But of course if someone already has the LSM set up and has
no problems with it, (s)he should continue to use it. Deprecated
doesn't mean disfunctional.

Ciao
