No Use for SUID

Description

It shouldn't be necessary to install pulseaudio SUID just to get SCHED_FIFO, as this is granted by PAM on all GNU/Linux systems.

  • resolution set to wontfix.

I tend to disagree. It might be a good thing to grant SCHED_FIFO to PA, but not to other apps. PAM is no full replacement for the current behaviour as it grants SCHED_FIFO to *all* processes of a certain user.
