Query about the realtime processes scheduling.

Hi,

I am not too familiar with Linux scheduler. What I could understand 
theoretically is - the interactive processes get advantage (-5) in priority.
And hence the effective priority is higher.

Query:
Is this true for realtime processes ( with SCHED_FIFO/SCHED_RR policy) 
as well? Could the realtime processes be I/O bound or interactive?
