Hi again,

i've done a new reboot, compared hardy's limits.conf to jaunty'one, and so

hardy'one working :


@audio          -       rtprio          99

@audio - memlock 999844

jaunty'one working but if i launch with sudo

@audio - memlock 770240
@audio - rtprio 99
@audio - nice -10

so I check ubuntustudio controls, everything is ok, the limits.conf is 
like the controls in GUI.

then i have a look to laurent un user, and see that in groups, there was 
no audio group. I add one, and tick laurent and root as members of this 
group, i've done a new reboot, and now i can launch qjackctl + ardour on 
RT without any xruns at 2,9ms latency !!!

what is surprising is that in hardy, i check audio group presence, 
there's none !!! but qjackctl is available as none root ???
But now, I understand why in hardy, changing the size of allowed memory 
change nothing face to the ardour message which was telling me there was 
a limit in my system...that's normal, because laurent is not in an audio 
group, so limits.conf can't work...

So I can't explain why in same condition hardy settings are working and 
why jaunty not, but after adding an audio group, and tick your account 
user in it, a reboot, it works perfectly...

RT kernel is ok for stable release the 23 of april...
