> I don't know how to promote a thread on FreeBSD...

What do you mean by "promote"? Give an arbitrary thread a realtime priority? [rtkit](https://repology.org/project/rtkit/versions) hasn't been ported to non-Linux kernels. And Tier3 also includes Solaris, DragonFly, NetBSD, OpenBSD, all of which implements threading differently. Not to mention, sandboxing isn't implemented on Tier3 to protect from audio thread being a DoS vector.

What do you mean by "promote"? Give a thread a realtime priority without requiring root? [rtkit](https://repology.org/project/rtkit/versions) hasn't been ported to non-Linux kernels. And Tier3 also includes Solaris, DragonFly, NetBSD, OpenBSD, each one implementing threading differently. Besides, sandboxing isn't implemented on Tier3 to protect from audio thread being a DoS vector.
