To summarize, my proposal is:
sysctl -w kernel/realtime=0 # disable realtime privileges
sysctl -w kernel/realtime=1 # enable realtime privileges
# for `root' group
sysctl -w kernel/realtime=1 # enable realtime privileges
sysctl -w kernel/realtimegroup=-1 # for every process
sysctl -w kernel/realtime=1 # enable realtime privileges
sysctl -w kernel/realtimegroup=29 # for `audio' group
Only root can write these variables. If possible, let's agree on a
standard gid to use for group `realtime', there isn't one now.
Sounds good to me...
Here's a list of uids/gids as used in RedHat (courtesy of Matthias):

I seem to remember having read somewhere of an initiative to standarize
all these numbers, can't remember where or when.
