Hey,
The MP3 player XMMS has the option of making it a realtime process. But even after doing so, the music sometimes blocks. This is when my CDROM is being accessed when it is not spinning anymore (spin-up time). Would it be very hard to reprogram the linux kernel in such a way that certain devices can't be turned off when realtime processes access these devices? These devices would include CDROM players, harddisks. Please note that I'm not looking for a way to (globally) disable the spinning off of my CDROM player when it's in use. Only when realtime processes access these devices the spinning of should be disabled. If anyone is programming on something like described above please let me know.
Frank.
