MichaelandMichael de By baf0287138 Ask RTKit directly for the speaker tuning's realtime priority (#12958)
The tuning host loaded module-rt with default arguments, so it asked for
realtime through xdg-desktop-portal. A portal started before rtkit was
installed reports a realtime budget of zero. module-rt applies that as a
hard RLIMIT_RTTIME of 0, RTKit still makes the data thread SCHED_RR, and
the kernel kills the host with SIGKILL as soon as audio plays; systemd
restarts it every two seconds and the speakers stay silent until the next
login.

Set rtportal.enabled = false, as the stock pipewire.conf does. The host is
a user service in the same session as the PipeWire daemon and has no
reason to go through the portal.

The host config is only copied by `omarchy-audio-tuning on`, so a
migration replaces an installed copy that is still Omarchy's own with the
old setting, and restarts the host if it runs. It does not call `on`,
which would overwrite a tuning graph another tool wrote under the same
name.
