Hey Ralf,
You're right.
Many articles need expansion/ rewrite indeed.

I have some things to add. Did a talk about low-latency setups on Arch during Linux Audio Conference 2015.
There's some useful stuff in there, including realtime settings and systemd user service for JACK, that I just never committed.

Thanks for the reminder! ;-)

Best,
David
