I am pulling the git repo now to see how it has been packaged, and what binary/source namespace it uses, to get a better idea of what we will need to do.

AFAIK Pulseaudio is the only user of rtkit so far, but I definitely
think jack/jack2 should use it as well to get at least some rtprio even
if the user hasn't configured limits.conf. I believe it should be fairly
easy to implement if one just sits down to do it.
