Crackling audio in Renoise on Omarchy: the realtime fix, without rtkit

Renoise crackled and popped on Omarchy because nothing on the system had realtime scheduling; even PipeWire was running its audio threads as normal processes. The fix is realtime-privileges plus the realtime group, a full reboot (a logout is not enough when lingering is on), and JACK at 48 kHz in Renoise. Installing rtkit on this setup got every ALSA client killed, so don't.
