Answering my own posts again... isn't it lovely to see someone else's thought processes in motion? ;-)
Anyway... I thought I remembered some discussion a while back on this topic, so an archive-hunt turned up a source patch for PD. I'll try this later, but can I ask Guenter.... did this not make it into CVS or normal PD 0.37.1 release?
It's in the latest MSP Pd, slightly modified, but works here. In general, would not run pd as root, but I have it "chmod +s" on my boxes. That way, Pd can drop root privileges after it got itself the realtime scheduling stuff done. This is more secure in the end than running as root (which cannot be "dropped"). You can restrict access to pd by using the group permissions.
