Hi again,
I was following the tutorial, and I got an error when first trying to read
audio into Fluxus and using it for animation:
```
jcz at darthvader:~$ fluxus temp.scm
Welcome to fluxus.
Type (help) for info.
Cannot lock down 82280346 byte memory area (Cannot allocate memory)
Cannot use real-time scheduling (RR/5)(1: Operation not permitted)
JackClient::AcquireSelfRealTime error
```
The script I was running at the time:
```
(clear)
(start-audio "system:capture_1" 1024 44100)
(define (armonics)
(colour (vector (gh 0) (gh 1) (gh 2)))
(draw-cube))
(every-frame (armonics))
```
And the audio configuration seems right, I was just playing music videos on
a browser and using jack to connect main PC output to input:
```

I'm running Jack through something called QjackCtl, which was what Ubuntu
shows when you put "jack" into the Gnome Shell search box.
Cheers,
Javier
