After a quick look at the code, it appears to me that even though we added rtkit to main, and the daemon now is always started by default, the lack of the SCHED_RESET_ON_FORK flag means that rtkit is not able to actually enable RT scheduling for Pulse Audio? If so that seems pretty broken to me... ( in addition to generating lots of daemon.log noise ).

Note we *could* patch rtkit to not use the flag, however the SCHED_RESET commit explains that it's purpose is to prevent RT scheduling from leaking to child processes which could be seen as a security risk ( see the commit for more details ).
