So to follow up,

Perhaps trying to change this for Maverick is too late in the cycle, so
I propose that we keep it as it is for now, and for Natty, we try to
make jack request real-time privileges via RealTimeKit - and thus
/etc/security/limits.d/audio.conf won't be needed at all.

How does that sound?
