AFAIK rtkit is planned for 10.04 (Lucid). In 9.10 (Karmic) your
pulseaudio daemon can gain high-priority and realtime scheduling by
editing "/etc/security/limits.conf". For each desktop user add the
following 2 lines:

<$USER>     -  nice   -11     # values from -20 upto 19 allowed
<$USER>     -  rtprio  9     # values from 1 upto 99 allowed

Each user who wants high-priority and/or realtime scheduling then may copy 
/etc/pulse/daemon.conf into his ~/.pulse and change the following lines (with 
leading ";" removed!):
high-priority = yes       # default  no
rlimit-nice = 31          # default  31, values higher than 31 are interpreted 
as 31!
nice-level = -11          # default -11, lowest value allowed: (20 - 
rlimit-nice), lower means more CPU-%

realtime-scheduling = yes # default no
rlimit-rtprio = 9         # default  9, values from -20 upto 19 allowed
realtime-priority = 9     # default  5, highest value allowed: rlimit-rtprio, 
higher means more priority

These instructions are valid for pulseaudio running in user mode (which
is the default).
