Parent article: Audio latency goes full circle

The solution here is disturbingly simple: Split the GUI and audio parts into separate processes, and give only the audio processes the extre permissions. You can do this by using a helper app, JUST as the GTK+ error message says. The GUI part doesn't need the extra privs, only the audio part does, so give only the audio part the extra privs.

And how does one determine, on-the-fly, which is a regular process and
which is an audio process?
