nice -20 doesn't get realtime.  You can't get realtime from the command-line without
writing a wrapper program that:


        schp.sched_priority = sched_get_priority_max(SCHED_RR);

        if (sched_setscheduler(0, sc, &schp) != 0) {
                perror("sched_setscheduler");
                return (-1);
        }


I have hacked vcr to do that and wrote a wrapper program and
tried it with myth (wasn't good idea).
