[PlanetCCRMA] jack_capture with jack 1.9.4 complains about nice value of "-10", wants "-20"

[Simon Lewis]

Hi Fernando,

I guess I'm just sitting on the side-line watching the e-mails going by 
and really not understanding much  - are these settings made by default 
when installing the planetccrma core apps? This is just the sort of 
thing where I wish there was a nice tool with GUI for the average user 
to make the most out of the linux and the hardware being used.

btw: I have just read your paper "Openmixer: a routing mixer for 
multichannel studios" <http://lac.linuxaudio.org/2010/papers/36.pdf- all 
very impressive and I never realised that you could connect so many 
different commercial interfaces even blue-ray players for decoding 
surround sound to linux based pcs and they work!

Simon
