you could start a private sndiod process to get exclusive access to
the hardware.
First ensure that no programs are using the audio hardware which is
exclusive (not even the system sndiod).
Then start as a regular user:
sndiod -aon <your other options>
then, optionnaly, you could crank to -20 the sndiod process
priority with renice(2).
