I probably mixed two ideas on my e-mail One of them which I called "Debian Multimedia Task" was the formalization of some kind of "steering group" inside debian to focus on multimedia related stuff, like Debian-jr or Debian-desktop... The other thing was "package sets" I was dreaming of a single

Hi, thanks for your explanations, The way I see it the only solution to have realtime functionality with JACK is to build a capability and lowlatency patched kernel and set jackstart suid root via the debconf system. Setting jackd root does not work, because in that state JACK does not accept c
