Unfortunately, adding the -r had no effect as far as I can tell.
According to the alsaplayer manpage,
-r, --realtime
Enable realtime scheduling. To use this as a normal
user, alsaplayer must be SUID root.
So I tried setting alsaplayer SUID root:
# chmod u+s `which alsaplayer`
Then as a regular (non-root) user:
# alsaplayer -r -o jack &
Gtk-WARNING **: This process is currently running setuid or setgid.
This is not a supported use of GTK+. You must create a helper
program instead. For further details, see:
http://www.gtk.org/setuid.html
Refusing to initialize GTK+.
[2] + exit 1 alsaplayer -r -o jack
I'm guessing that most folks don't have to worry about the whole
SUID root thing (or creating a "help program")?
Any more thoughts?
Thank you for all your help!
Matt
