Forgot to mention I'm using Debian. Great, though, this page was the
first thing I tried. It worked as far as booting the kernel, but my
latency was horrible. I have read that the patches mentioned in it
are considered obsolete, and that simply having libpam patched to be
rlimits-aware is sufficient. I have some libpam files for i386, but
I'm on AMD64 now and I'm not sure what to do.

Yeah, I was doing that too.

Not exactly my first time, it just hasn't been working. I'd even
settle for a standard Debian kernel, if I could run audio on it
reliably.
