Hi Tim

I am glad you got realtime scheduling with kernel-rt. I am looking forward to your documentation. I also appreciate your willingness to help. Please see my inline reply below

Thanks

However, I can boot to a standard kernel and run jack with realtime scheduling privileges (Kernel: 4.3.3-303.fc23.x86_64). So I am assuming the permission and limits configuration common to both Kernel is not the issue.
