That's a rather bad idea security wise and shouldn't be needed. 
 
@Kevin Johnson: There are several things you have to check before this will  
actually work. First of all, make sure mythfrontend is started from user that  
is in the audio group. Otherwise either change @audio to @whatever_group the  
user is in or just replace @audio with only the user who is starting  
mythfrontend. Also the changes will only take effect in any new session, so a  
logout and login is required. That should get you going without setting it  
suid. 
 
Nevertheless, it might be possible that mythfrontend reports it's setting  
realtime priority without actually doing it which you can check with top or  
schedtool or whatever is included in mythbuntu. This is a known bug and I  
already know what's the culprit. I'll post a patch on trac later this week  
when I get some free time... 
 
Hope that helps you. 
 
Best regards, 
matthias.

If someone could point me to a link or how to that describes the proper way to reply to these threads it would be much appreciated.

Thanks
