You just need JACK. http://jackit.sf.net
JACK automatically makes your audio thread realtime and there are ways to
make it give your other RT threads realtime priorities if you need to.
POSIX threads are the ones people use for audio work.
Disk i/o is no problem, as long as the thread thats doing the disk i/o is
not RT. There are plenty of examples of this, eg in the JACK example
clients directory.
