The RT rlimits patch (nice-and-rt-prio-rlimits.patch) has been proposed
as a solution to allow audio users to run their applications with
realtime priorities. While more complicated to configure, it's a much
cleaner patch than realtime-lsm and it's likely to get merged soon _if_
enough audio users test it and confirm that it works.
To encourage this, I have created a wiki page containing installation
instructions, links to prebuilt PAM packages, etc:

If this works for you, I am collecting success reports. Please email
rlimits-success(a)steamballoon.com .
If you have any problems with it, LAU is probably the best place to ask
for help. Unfortunately I don't have large amounts of time to spend
helping people with this, so any help requests emailed to me directly
may be deleted without a reply. Sorry.
Thanks for testing!
