Description-en: startup script for realtime-preempt enabled kernels
This package contains a script to prioritize IRQ thread handlers
on a kernel patched with realtime-preempt patch from Ingo Molnar.
The script takes advantage of the fact that realtime kernels use
threads for IRQs management, and as such these threads (like any
other thread running on your system) can be given maximum
priority in an effort to minimize the latency of audio
peripherals.
.
The script identifies the audio devices present on the machine
and raises the priority of the threads that handle the IRQs of
such devices.
