A recent jack update sets those limits for you.

Do not set nice value. I'd recommend this:

  @audio          -       rtprio               99
  @audio          -       memlock         unlimited


If you're looking for linux 3.0.12-rt30 and you happen to have a
recent intel processor (icore):

I never ever would set such values. This value with nice is the default on my Arch Linux install, NOT EDITED BY ME. The settings you recommend are the settings I already posted with this link http://jackaudio.org/linux_rt_config ;).

It's important for me to set up my machine myself, regarding to audio. If I e.g. would use a basic rtirq, my RME sound card would have a lower priority than my two Envy24 cards, that are used as additional MIDInterfaces.
Of cause http://bbarros.com/archstudio/ is interesting, but how do I keep dependencies if I e.g. compile my own kernel-rt, jack2, ardour3 with video timeline etc.?
