 | Sorry for replying to my previous reply with everything now snipped.

Yes: sure!

@audio - rtprio 99
@audio - nice -10
@audio - memlock 4000000

 | As default this file has everything commented out in Etch,

Bad for jackd...

 | but this file in Fedora 7 already had some lines for
 | jack-audio-connection-kit set up as default, but only with a rtprio of 20.
 | The updated pam that came down when installing the planetccrma low latency
 | kernel, left a limits.conf.rpmnew with higher priorities. I added these to
 | the existing limits.conf file, commenting out the defaults, and now when
 | starting jack on Fedora 7, I have zero xruns.

Fine
