I found allowing RT priorities and large mlock() in
/etc/security/limits.conf fixed most or all of my disc burning issues
without needing setuid on binaries. YMMV, but something like:
* hard rtprio 100
* hard memlock 32768
and I repeated for "soft" to make sure it was there by default, but I
don't think that's actually necessary. Something similar is/was done
for jack a while back.
