[ardour-users] Ardour in usermode

[Jesse Chappell]

Only jackd needs to run with realtime privileges.  You should
check out the FAQs about how to either patch your kernel for capabilities
and use jackstart, or use 2.6 with the realtime security patch,
or you can attempt to suid root the jackd binary itself (worst
choice, but easiest).
