Comment (by ttcoder):

 Tried for the first time to actually tweak priorities using
 ProcessController and -- oh boy !!

 The audio playback didn't skip a beat, even while opening a 3 MB file in
 StyledEdit ''and'' loading badass pages in W+ ''and'' switching workspaces
 back and forth as some (stress) icing on the cake!

 And in case Pete is following this: the "Received buffer .. late" syslog
 messages stopped once and for all, at least in the half-hour (and
 counting) of my test here.

 Now ''that'' is what realtime audio should be like 8-)

 Will continue tweaking, trying to find out exactly ''which'' thread(s)
 need fine-tuning; in today's test I just bumped all the +10 up to
 '''+15''' (display priority, as suggested by Sean); initially this failed
 to improve audio, for so long as I was still in the '''Media-Server'''
 realm, but as soon as I did the same for '''MediaPlayer''', that's when I
 got the rock-solid audio described above.
