btw, why do you need mplayer_nice in the first place?
afaiu, qemplayer is an qt frontend to mplayer, and does not need
realtime I/O priorities any more than mplayer itself.

looking at the code of qemplayer, i also see that the program will
indeed work without mplayer_nice installed.

so one possibility would be to drop the qemplayer_nice binary from the
"qemplayer" binary package.

"mplayer_nice" could be provided by a separate binary package
(hopefully with some non-suid solution)
