It does make a difference in my case. Well, I have not tested recently,
maybe it does not :-)

Yes, that is the way I'm starting it. You have to load the realcap
module before starting jack, maybe that is missing? I do it like
"/sbin/modprobe realcap allcaps=1" (this gives you the same behavior as
2.4.x with the capabilities patch), or you can use the init script
that's on the web site.

Well, when I was having the problem with the realtime thread creation
pthread_create was not creating it SCHED_FIFO _but_ it was not returning
an error. I would presume that it should...

You can check the scheduler of all the threads with chrt (part of the
schedutils package). "chrt -p pid" will tell you which scheduler is
being used. The output of ps will not show all threads, use the main
thread from ps and look up all the others in /proc/xx/task/, where xx is
the pd of the main thread. 

Let me know how it goes. 
I don't think I will have a chance to test your patch till tomorrow.
