[Mageia-dev] mageia sound tasks

Hello, just few words to mention the obvious :

1. musicians are sub-group
2. RT-kernel need is a sub-sub-group of (electronic and music) needs
3. Jack works well on normal-kernel now, providing 90% of sound-studio
usages (really needs of -RT are rares, irl)

and last thing : kernel-RT is not suffisant. user must configure most things
on system (limits.d, sysctl, acpi, tmpfs or ramfs, fstab, and more to have a
"real pro-audio station like any others o.s"), so providing kernel-rt is
good to seems give "out-of-the-box" possibility, but it lies : user in all
cases must configure what is bad to auto-conf through spec file

So maybe it's a false good idea to provide kernel-rt.
Another stone to wall "dont want to have many kernel in repo"

ps : the real trouble about sound-studio seems to be "how to provide
non-free support" ? (eg : compil most softwares with mp3 support, and vst
support) It is possible to provide this supports but without distribute the
lib of ? example : compil qtractor with mp3 + vst support, but wihtout
provide lib for mp3 and vst : software could but user need to install
himself mp3 and vst ?

end of off-topic
nice night
maybe soon
