Or if you still don't want something like that merged in, I'd like to alert the author of that patch that it doesn't require root privs to work. It just needs a non-0 value for RLIMIT_RTPRIO (ulimit -r).
Thanks for the heads up. I'll let Alexandre comment on the other stuff but I wanted the patch to work out of the box for all users, with no configuration necessary.
I don't see any way to resolve this issue satisfactorily. Windows apps require hard real time support, the kernel won't give it to us without privileged access, Alexandre doesn't want to let Windows apps do that. So it seems we lose (unless somebody conjures something that works just as well as that patch does, which so far hasn't happened).
