Bug#507248: jackd: realtime setting needs modifications to /etc/security/limits.conf



Package: jackd
Version: 0.109.2-4
Severity: important

if realtime is activated, jackd won't restart, because it fails to access "something". The fix is to add 

@audio - rtprio 99
@audio - nice -15
@audio - memlock 250000

to /etc/security/limits.conf

Also, it allows a regular user to launch jackd with "nice -n -15 /usr/bin/jackd" instead of the default "/usr/bin/jackd"
