Kyle,
   Glad you have it working now. I didn't think the caps flag made any
difference. I guess the ebuild could be improved to check that.

   I think there are multiple 'capabilites' features in the kernel.
realtime operation for Jack was just one way to make Jack work at the
time which isn't used anymore. Don't ask me why. I'm a grunt.

   On a side note, now that you have realtime-lsm working be aware
that it too is going away in favor of using PAM instead. Unfortunately
there has been no developer work done et for Gentoo to get PAM up to
the level it needs to be to solve this problem with future kernels.
you might consider adding your name to one of the Bugzilla requests to
get PAM updated for realtime operation:

http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=101766

or

http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=87577

there is an experiemental ebuild which I won't be testing anytime soon
as I wouldn't know what to do if there was a failure.

Cheers,
Mark
