Update: I just discovered that running jackd -R -P 70

-r44100 as ROOT doesn't even set priority 70. jackd then runs as a root
process with priority 20, according to both chrt and top.
Apparently my system is not able to run anything higher than 20 priority;
does this mean my kernel is misconfigured, or might it be something else?
jackd is a multithreaded process, you can't just look at the priority
of the main thread, you have to check all of them. It should have
some SCHED_FIFO threads and some SCHED_NORMAL threads.
