Sorry, can't test this. I know my WS can't compare to a normal server
and I don't have a production server running on SCHED_ULE (excuse the
pun). As I said though, I tried once SCHED_ULE on a P4 with 1 CPU
and HTT enabled and it paniced way too fast. That was when SCHED_ULE
was #error-ed...

As for rtprio, I do set it after I run mplayer, because I run it from
normal user and rtprio is limited to root.
