-aRts for Debian ships without the SUID bit set on artswrapper, thus
-preventing the aRts daemon from running with realtime scheduling
-priority, a feature which helps prevent audio skips and jumps.
-
-This restriction is in place due to aRts' unfortunate tendency to
-lock the system on exit, when run with realtime priority on systems
-with a 2.4 series kernel.
-
-NB: The aKode library, used in conjunction with aRts, dramatically
-improves aRts' CPU usage and helps to maintain uninterrupted
-playback, often making realtime scheduling unnecessary. To make use
-of aKode, simply "apt-get install libarts1-akode-trinity".
-
-Users running other kernels, or simply willing to risk it, can set
-SUID on artswrapper, thus enabling the possibility of realtime
-scheduling, by running, as root:
-
-dpkg-statoverride --add --update root root 4755 /usr/bin/artswrapper
-
-If this causes problems, the default permissions can be restored by
-running, as root:
-
-dpkg-statoverride --remove /usr/bin/artswrapper
-chmod 0755 /usr/bin/artswrapper
