_Description: Do you want MusE to run with superuser rights?
For good timing, MusE needs to set the real time clock (/dev/rtc) to a
higher clock rate, and raise its scheduling priority. Usually, only the
root user is allowed to do so. MusE can be installed "suid-root", so
that it always runs with superuser capabilities. This is convenient, but
programming errors in MusE likely present a hazard for system security in
this setup.
.
File /usr/share/doc/muse/README.Debian summarizes several more secure
methods to meet the timing requirements, but they all require manual
configuration.
.
If you intend to use MusE for timing-sensitive recordings, and security
is of no concern on this computer, opt for the suid-root installation
by giving an affirmative answer to this question. Deny if unsure.
