Comment 12 for bug 367671

i have good news: i managed to prevent the killing of PA on lucid with an RT kernel. i did it by playing around with the /etc/pulse/daemon.conf:

cpu-limit = no -> PA won't kill itself

rlimit-rttime = 10000000 -> increased the value by adding a zero (x10) -> prevents the kernel from killing PA

i'm not sure how the last value is handled (describes the time a application is allowed for full rt priority), because AFAIK a app shouldn't be allowed to set it on it's own. but probably rtkit comes into play here. from more details on my config see the attachment.

would be great if someone can confirm this fix, especially if it also works on the stock RT kernel (2.6.31) that lacks a patch for rtkit.
