[pulseaudio-discuss] System-wide PulseAudio instance with realtime priority as non-root from systemd

[Jürgen Herrmann]

What happens if you start the pulseaudio daemon in the console? Do you get 
rt scheduling then? I would check that first to see if pulsesudio is 
configured correctly. If that works you're probably better off asking the 
question in the systemd list then...

Best regards, Jürgen
