I'd like to see some SCHED_FIFO (lowlatency scheduling) action in
GStreamer. Whether or not this could make it in by 0.8 is debatable.

And it isn't necessary at the moment ; we can use GStreamer apps with
JACK in non-realtime mode. But if we really want to support professional
audio processing on Linux (yeah ! yeah !), we'll need to be able to do
lowlatency scheduling.
