Package: base Severity: important Reference from Ubuntu wiki on the arguments against using audio group as default for users https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Audio/TheAudioGroup.
audio group is currently expected by the jackd packages to gain realtime privilege for users. jackd1 and jackd2 packages install the file /etc/security/limits.d/audio.conf for this purpose. It is also required to gain acess for a set of firewire devices using the ffado driver. Privileges granted with the file /lib/udev/rules.d/60-ffado.rules installed by the package libffado2. I propose to remove audio group from the list of user default groups and add a new one for jack, specifically. Either named "jack", or as is praxis on Fedora systems, "jackuser". In any case, it would be good to standardize the group for jack. The use of such a group for jack is the much preferred option. It is what jack devs recommend, and it is the way most people use to get realtime privilege. -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers testing-updates APT policy: (500, 'testing-updates'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-lowlatency (SMP w/4 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
