aRts for Debian ships without the SUID bit set on artswrapper, thus
|
||
|
|
preventing the aRts daemon from running with realtime scheduling
|
||
|
|
priority, a feature which helps prevent audio skips and jumps.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This restriction is in place due to aRts' unfortunate tendency to
|
||
|
|
lock the system on exit, when run with realtime priority on systems
|
||
|
|
with a 2.4 series kernel.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
NB: The aKode library, used in conjunction with aRts, dramatically
|
||
|
|
improves aRts' CPU usage and helps to maintain uninterrupted
|
||
|
|
playback, often making realtime scheduling unnecessary. To make use
|
||
12 years ago
|
of aKode, simply "apt-get install libarts1-akode-trinity".

Users running other kernels, or simply willing to risk it, can set
|
||
|
|
SUID on artswrapper, thus enabling the possibility of realtime
|
||
|
|
scheduling, by running, as root:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
dpkg-statoverride --add --update root root 4755 /usr/bin/artswrapper
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If this causes problems, the default permissions can be restored by
|
||
|
|
running, as root:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
dpkg-statoverride --remove /usr/bin/artswrapper
|
||
|
|
chmod 0755 /usr/bin/artswrapper
