programs that use the filesystem from a realtime audio thread are

incorrectly written.

a system that allows disk i/o to interfere with a realtime audio

thread is badly configured.
ergo, i would conclude that the only realtime audio programs that can

benefit from this sort of thing are either badly written or running on

a misconfigured system.
JACK itself isn't doing any file I/O - it just happens to use an

inter-process communication system that uses identifiers that are

related to the filesystem.
