When I say badly written apps I am taking about the JACK client's
processing thread. These xruns are not caused by the kernel. If a JACK
client sleeps in the process() callback or tries to do 10ms worth of
work with a 5ms deadline then xruns are inevitable, the best RTOS in the
world will not help you.
