Did you see this in the PD FAQ?: http://puredata.info/docs/faq/how-can-i-run-pd-with-realtime-priority-in-gnu-linux
This confuses me a bit as it slightly differs from this http://jackaudio.org/linux_rt_config
In the Pd FAQ it says that if /etc/security/limits.d/audio.conf exists you don't need to do anything, where in the other link it says that you need to create /etc/security/limits.d/99-realtime.conf and there you should write the following:

@realtime  -  rtprio   99
@realtime  -  memlock  unlimited

In the Pd FAQ, it says that if /etc/security/limits.d/audio.conf doesn't exist, you should add the two lines above to /etc/security/limits.conf but instead of @realtime you should write @audio
Anyway, I've followd the jack link and supposedly I've added realtime scheduling. Should I run Pd with '-rt' ?

Iohannes, haven't tried jack with anything else. I haven't installed SuperCollider and don't really know how to connect jack to other applications (firefox, vlc etc.). I guess I'll have to read the manual.

as IOhannes said, you _should not_ do that..
(if you do it could mean that you did not add yourself to the `audio` group, as suggested by my previous link)
Ok, I was opening jack with sudo before you posted the link, now I can indeed open it without sudo and it will see the firewire, no prob. So I'm also opening pd without sudo, but I get the same behaviour. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. 

how do you start jack? can you post here the full command?
jack -d firewire (I use & if I want to open pd from the same terminal window, but don't really know how to turn off jack afterwards..)
