[ubuntu-studio-users] Firewire interface

[Kaj Ailomaa]

To set up jack and ffado, you need to add yourself to audio group: sudo
usermod -a -G audio $USER
You'll need to logout and login for changes to have effect.

 (I suspect you answered "yes" during jack installation when asked if
 you wanted realtime privilege - if you answered "no", you will need to
 rename /etc/security/limits.d/audio.conf.disabled to
 /etc/security/limits.d/audio.conf)

Jack uses the audio group for getting access to realtime. ffado uses it
to let the user get access to a list of ffado firewire devices.

That's pretty much it.

You can install linux-lowlatency if you need lower latency (which you
will if you do any form of live recording and need to monitor yourself
through the computer).
