Scott,

Using Maverick, with the default kernel, jackd can be launched with real 
time option without being in the audio group. But in order to have good 
performance (latency less than 10ms) I have to add myself to the audio 
group... More, when you install jackd2 with Synaptic, this is mentionned 
that you have to do it.
