Sorry to be a pest, if only _one_ app requests through rtkit then all

If rtkit would demote all processes when
triggered, regardless of whether
rtkit granted the privileges or not then I can't really bypass it, it is
always there defining policy.
Except that rtkit wouldn't be started in the first place if the apps
get RT by some other means, since rtkit is only the last resort for them. But really, if this is so important to you then we can
certainly
change that.
I happen to think it is the wrong thing to do in general: you are
essentially forcing policy for something you don't have complete control
over, so that it may overlap or override with what other methods want.
It is probably going to create problems in the long run, but that is a
very non-scientific thing to say.
(BTW, I still have to try to figure out if jack support is possible -
don't know when I'm going to have time - jack bestows rt on threads that
the client programs use, but not through a fork)
