Comment (by ionic@…):
Be careful. Capabilities does not refer to FS capabilities support only.
It also refers to running "arbitrary" functions/programs with elevated
privileges. Those are mostly granted via setting capabilities on binaries,
but I guess there are other ways, too.
`CAP_NET_ADMIN` is widely used to let users change network interfaces.
PulseaAudio is probably interested in `CAP_SYS_NICE` or `CAP_SYS_RESOURCE`
for real-time support.
