I've done this in some LADSPAs, it works.

When running in JACK, you can obtain JACKS thread id and then
look up its priority. Otherwise, you can query the thread's prio
the first time your process() is called and then create a thread
just below it.

It doesn't need to: the extra buffering can be absorbed into the
buffers you need anyway - zero overhead. I've got a C++ implementation
of this, just drop me a line if you want it.
