Yes, I am!

I wonder, how to extend my limits (as root or as a user) to unlimited,
manually, if limits.d/audio.conf isn't respected regarding memlock.

And as brummer pointed out: Yes, my system also uses systemd, gdm and
pam.
Often, people tell that gnome is a bad desktop for realtime audio.
Could this be the reason for it?

Greets!
