I am happy to report that, with kernel 2.6.12-rc4 and the proper version of PAM installed and configured, there is now a way for a normal user process to gain realtime scheduling w/o having to be SUID root. Mythfrontend's current realtime scheduling capabilities are able to use this new capability. It should also allow people running FC3 to work properly, where before mythfrontend SUID root did not result in realtime priority.
