The point is not that most people would run as root; it was that most people would have the ability to grant themselves realtime privileges. And, frankly, I think most people who would benefit from this patch would be quite willing to accept a slight possibility of locking up their systems if it meant they could play games with clean audio. I know I certainly would.Am Donnerstag 07 Dezember 2006 15:46 schrieb kfs1@online.no:Well actually most 'users' would get these rights as most users of linux are the administrators themselves!But you should *never* work as root, and *never ever* run wine as root, and *even more never ever* run most likely cracked games as root(due to the lack of copy protection support in wine)
