But we don't really need further kernel support for that, do we? I know a user currently cannot raise priority, but the user can run all his normal apps at slightly lower priority, except for xine. And the admin/distrubutor can set everything up for using the slightly lower priority by default. Well, perhaps all this involves so much use of "nice" that kernel support is a good idea anyway...
