| Only issue remaining is this message:

| Apr  6 15:25:02 nawdew rtkit-daemon[3484]: Failed to make ourselves RT:
| Operation not permitted
| (repeated a number of times)
| 
| Is this also -rt related?

here's the description of rtkit:

	Summary     : Realtime Policy and Watchdog Daemon
	Description :
	  RealtimeKit is a D-Bus system service that changes the
	  scheduling policy of user processes/threads to SCHED_RR (i.e. realtime
	  scheduling mode) on request. It is intended to be used as a secure
	  mechanism to allow real-time scheduling to be used by normal user
	  processes.

One famous user of rtkit is pulseaudio. In fact, it is the only user of
rtkit on my system. And the message reflects that either your pulseaudio
config is forbidding usage of RT prios or the user running pulseaudio has
no rights to use higher priorities (check with ulimit)
