Can anyone make a wiki page about this on http://puredata.org/docs ? It would be quite handy to have.
Also, I'd love to hear suggestions how to make this part of the Pd- extended package. I think it makes a lot of sense to have this a debconf question. I suppose setuid could be a debconf question as
well.I *really* don't think, that every audio software on the planet should try to setup a user's system for a certain way of realtime operation. If at all, this should be done only by the package libpam-modules or maybe by some meta-package (e.g. "realtime-desktop") that the puredata package could recommend.
I am interested in the result rather than how it is implemented. If
that was a bad idea, are there any others? I think it is important
that the Pd packages work well after installing without having to
tweak it, including having glitch-free audio after installing. It
works like this with many programs on Mac OS X, I think it should
work the same on GNU/Linux.
The rlimits approach will soon be common knowledge among all Linux audio users anyway.
Not everyone wants to learn about this stuff. Some people just want
to install Ubuntu Studio and make music. It would like to support
that impulse. I think that is possible without restricting people
from getting deeper.

Adding a note to /usr/share/doc/puredata/README.Debian would be something to consider, of course.
