+rtirq (set priorities on kernel IRQ threads)
+
+The rtirq script is a bash script written by Rui Nuno Capela which works
+in conjunction with the IRQ threading facility of the Linux kernel. The
+script takes advantage of the fact that the kernel can use threads for
+IRQs management, and as such these threads (like any other thread running
+on your system) can be given maximum priority in an effort to minimize
+the latency of audio peripherals.
+
+Modern kernels (3.0 and newer) incorporate IRQ threads, so there's no
+need for a patched kernel on Slackware 14.0 or newer. Older systems
+would need the realtime kernel patch.
+
+The script is installed as /etc/rc.d/rc.rtirq. To actually run it at
+boot time, add code like this to /etc/rc.d/rc.local:
+
+if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.rtirq ]; then
+ /etc/rc.d/rc.rtirq start
+fi
+
+The script can be disabled with "chmod -x /etc/rc.d/rc.rtirq".
+
+To enable IRQ threads, the option 'append="threadirqs"' needs to be
+added to the kernel section in /etc/lilo.conf. Example:
+
+# Linux bootable partition config begins
+image = /boot/vmlinuz-huge-3.10.17
+ root = /dev/sda1
+ label = Linux
+ append = "threadirqs"
+ read-only
+# Linux bootable partition config ends
+
+If there's already an 'append', add a space and 'threadirqs', like so:
+ append = "noapic acpi=off threadirqs"
+
+Don't forget to run lilo after editing lilo.conf. The threadirqs option
+will take effect on the next reboot.

+# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description.
+# Line up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and
+# the '|' on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in.
+# You must make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also
