Hello folks I am looking to provide support for a 'realtime' group, for use with not just audio/video but any other/future applications of real-time. The 'audio' group will "remain" for backward compatibility, indefinitely. I can therefore either create the new group or users have to do it. If I choose to create the group then I'd have to do it from within a package since multiple other packages are affected (jack*). --[ background ]-- Historically, the audio group for real-time multimedia has served two purposes: 1. Permissions for real-time scheduling (i.e. PAM) 2. Permissions for device access (e.g. FireWire, RTC, HPET) This new group relates mostly to (1). In the event the 'audio' group proves to be a problem for devices, the new group can be used. This means that a jack user will be in both the 'audio' and 'realtime' groups in this new scheme. --[ background ]-- If nobody objects I'll go ahead and create a new package that creates the new group and configures the relevant permissions. -- GPG/PGP ID: C0711BF1
