Specifications of the Ubuntu Studio Settings App

This is a small app proposed to provide users access to commonly hand-edited settings on a A/V production system.

Proposed Settings

Proposed list of settings the app will change:

• Memlock - "@audio - memlock 512000" will be able to be changed in /etc/security/limits.conf
• Edit the sound card number (alsa order, hw0, hw1, etc...) for people having several sound cards (ie motherboard sound card + pci sound card).
• Enabling access to firewire (both for video cam and sound card), with adding user to group "disk".

  • IF this is added to the app it will have to come with a warning about how much of a security risk this is. "Enabling this on a multi-user/network PC is a major security issue! Use at your own risk!"

UI

We will base the UI off of the "Appearance" preferences. Something like this but smaller:
