Did you figure it out? [I'm away on a trip so access to email is
sporadic - I read a subset of the lists most of the time]

I'm running ardour2 without problems (Planet CCRMA build, of course). If
you followed the instructions and installed the planetccrma-core meta
package all the small details should have been taken care of
automagically (realtime access, memory locking, rt irq priorities, etc,
etc). 

[probably faster response would have happened if you had posted to the
Planet CCRMA list...]
