[opensuse-factory] Pulse-Audio rights (pulse-rt group)

Hi list,
This post might be a bit off-topic, nevertheless it goes together with
development of new versions.
I just tested yesterday VLC 0.9 (also not released yet, but RPMs are
available), which also supports Pulse-Audio.
Weel, what can I say: it 'works', as to say the best of it.
But the sound is very choppy. Actually Fedora has the same issue (talked with
some group members).
Adding the user to the group pulse-rt apparently fixes this issue and gives
enough privileges on those devices.
What mechanism is there in place to 'escalate' those privileges on the go?
Maybe something like PolicyKit, granting an application to have it's users join
a specific group or so?
What's the risk of putting everybody in the group pulse-rt (or have it's
devices de-coupled and add them to users, to not have to add everybody to that
group in plus?)
