I'd veto such abuse of the audio group. The jack daemon needs to be started with appropriate privileges, ie either by a supervising root process or via setuid/fscaps.
As jack is started and run as user, how would you propose to grant jack real time scheduling?
Just as cited above :-) Either some root process needs to start jackd as the intended user with the necessary privileges (e.g. via DBus) or you need to make jackd setuid root/grant fscaps. If jackd isn't prepared to run that way you could also write a small wrapper for that purpose. In any case the security team wants to review such things prior to inclusion in Factory.

Ok I'm beginning to understand what jack dbus is all about, unfortunately most packages that use jack still depend on jack classic and although jack can build with both interfaces it does so with a warning and although it works when I test it, I don't trust it. I will research the various options, making a jack that just works is on my todo list but not that urgent.
