You need to use capabilities as well as the CCRMA kernel. but if youre
running jackstart and its not giving errors then you are.

It could be a kernel problem, if the kernel is not allowing jackd to run
with the right scheduling options, or doesn't have the low latency
patches, but hte CCRMA one does.

At this point I would suspect its a bug in Muse.
