Debian testing current libpam-modules 0.79-4 supports rtprio (I use it).
To be sure just run :
jackd -R -P 70 -d dummy
in another shell launch :
top -H -p `pidof jackd`
PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND

If rlimit is not working you won't see a thread at prio -71
Don't be afraid if you don't have the thread at -81 you must have an
old version of jackd.
If you can verify this you can be sure your problem does not come from
rlimit or realtime stuff.
You will have to investigate more.
Goood luck.
PS. If you have a dual core setup I'm not sure your jackd version is patched
against some hw clock drift problems. Do you have the --clocksource
option when you launch jackd -h ?
