Ok, but how does JACK keep the OS from executing a completely different process as the next job?

Also, as you say, by using e.g., malloc(), the realtime app indeed passes the control to the kernel thread, which has to do a lot with JACK (it does exactly what the rt app need to get process). So why is calling malloc() not realtime then?

Many thanks for the help.
