I first noticed this a week or so before Alpha was released: after one of the pulseaudio updates, on the next login I was prompted if I want to turn on high-priority scheduling for PulseAudio, and that it needs super-user authentication.
After a fresh Alpha install, the same thing happened, both in: - new user created using useradd - new user created using system-config-users
Sounds like something that should either be 1) enabled by default (perhaps using ConsoleKit), or 2) possible to turn off entirely (i.e. "no, I don't need this feature, don't ask me again" -- with instruction on how to change this)

Check bugzilla. There is already a bug report open on this and it has been discussed before on the lists too.

The idea is to show this dialog only when rt or high-prio is enabled in the config file, but you lack the necessary privs. However, due to some reasons, this doesn't really work as intended, yet.
By default, we will not enable rt, because it is not safe on multi-user systems.
