* I did some reading about pam. It seems that you were right.

By default limits are taken from the /etc/security/limits.conf  config file.
Then individual files from the /etc/security/limits.d/  directory are read. The
files are parsed one after another in the order of "C" locale. The effect of
the individual files is the same as if all the files were concatenated together
in the order of parsing.

So the lastest one wins.


* I also made tests with realtime priorities. Currently the jackuser and
pulse-rt realtime priorities are set to 20, which is unfortunately not enough
for traverso. Traverso needs 90, otherwise it complains.

Therefore I created a usergroup "traversouser" and added a limits file into
/etc/security/limits.d/ with the requirements of traverso.


* Meanwhile, Remon also told me:
"The hardware buffer in the soundcard has to be divided into at least 2
'periods' one that is being played from, the other then is free to write new
data to.
However, there are some drivers (Intel notably) that don't support this, and
need at least 3 periods to work properly. If 3 periods does not work for you,
then it means we can't make everyone happy with just one configuration."

There is no single setup that will be valid for all hardware. Therefore I
removed the defaults patch which was customized for my system only.


So here is the update:
SPEC: http://6mata.com/review/traverso.spec
SRPM: http://6mata.com/review/traverso-0.49.1-4.fc10.src.rpm

Changelog: 0.49.1-4
- Drop the defaults patch
- Fix slv2 library detection
- Add traversouser group
- Install limits config file in /etc/security/limits.d/
