I don't see how they are relevant. The real question is do you really
need RT for these tasks?
Drivers which buffer data (like for the sound cards) can reduce the
demand on the application. If the driver doesn't buffer enough, and
you're recording sound, then an RT application may be justified
(although a normal high priority process may suffice), since you don't
want to loose data.
Playing a video game, however, it might not matter if you loose a
frame or two. The solution to frame dropping may be as simple as
"don't run other things at the same time".
