With the lsm module you shouldn't need to run anything as root to get realtime privileges. What version of PD are you running? It might be worth downloading the latest sources and compiling them with './configure --enable-jack' if you haven't already done so. Then try running pd with 'pd -rt -jack'. This should either work or give you some informative error messages.
