You need to enable realtime mode in Pd by starting it with the -rt or
-realtime option.

Btw: Running as root is dangerous and unneeded. There are various
other ways to allow Pd to raise its priority without running as root.
The best method with a current kernel is rlimits-aware PAM as
described for Ubuntu here:
