Bug#541217: pulseaudio does not use real-time scheduling

[Torquil Macdonald Sørensen]

Package: pulseaudio
Version: 0.9.21-3+b1
Severity: normal

README.Debian mentions the pulse-rt group, but I cannot find this group in my
file /etc/group

Also, it says that pulseaudio is installed setuid root. On my system, it is not:

$ ls -l /usr/bin/pulseaudio
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 73912 Jul 29 20:17 /usr/bin/pulseaudio
