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.
