Ralf helped me a bit further off-list.
It seems I needed to modprobe snd-hrtimer
Now oom pretty much freezes as well when I tell it to use that,
qtractor doesn't complain, at least not immediately, couldn't try
further yet.
Kernel is 2.6.31.4-rt14
Haven't tried this yet since I'm not sure it makes sense:
chgrp audio /dev/hpet
So even when hpet is available, hrtimer is the one to use?
