Comment 3 for bug 677931

Salut Fabrice, Hi igi,

In my case, Ubuntu 10.04 up to date and Muse 1.1
same problem: Muse won't start unless Jack is started.
Looks like Muse isn't getting enough precision from the rtc.
Running Muse as root allows it of course.
Otherwise, it wants Jack for its timer.

To allow enough rtc precision to underprivileged mode, type:
$ sudo sh -c "echo 1024 > /proc/sys/dev/hpet/max-user-freq"

To be able to run Muse, the system should allow users to set rtc frequencies up to 1024 Hz.
