[PD] os x realtime not under root.

Not if you make the pd executable setuid root.  To do so, run this 
(assuming your pd is installed in /usr/local/bin/pd):

sudo chown root /usr/local/bin/pd
sudo chmod u+s /usr/local/bin/pd

Then pd will always run as root regardless of who started it.  This is 
a modest security risk though, setting any app setuid root is.
