You should only need to add > threadirqs to the kernel command line I think it's working, because 'rtirq status' produces results, and those results show my audio stuff as the highest priority. Earlier I was confused about threadirqs, thinking that it didn't work because the RT kernel test reported that no RT kernel was found. As for "Fedora's rtirq package", I had to get mine from CCRMA, not Fedora 17 repositories. Were you implying that rtirq would be available from something other than CCRMA? If so, what's the right F17 repository for this?
