so i extended the limits.conf file here now:

 @audio - rtprio 99
@audio - memlock 500000
@audio - nice -10
@audio   soft            nolimit    4096  
@audio   hard            nolimit    8192   

but still there is that warning.

as i understood sampo, it is not bad at all, its only a warning about a 
existing of an maximum of memlock. but in the never svn, i get now the 
warning not only in the terminal, but there is an extra window appearing 
before the ardourvst session opens.

cheers,
