You need JACK and the audio interrupt to be at a higher priority than
all the other IRQ threads. Try passing -P80 to JACK and set the IRQ
10 thread to priority 60.
Also with limited RAM and any released JACK version it's important to
reduce the stack rlimit to something like 256KB (it defaults to 8MB)
via limits.conf. Otherwise you lock down a lot of memory that will
never be used.
