For what reason do you wish to use Squeeze?
I know that Hardy and Karmic are a little bit outdated.
You should build your own kernel-rt for Squeeze if the alpha 3.3 should
cause issues.

For Hardy it was possible to build a kernel-rt the following way, but at
least for Lucid make-kpkg isn't supported anymore, but perhaps it's
still ok for Debian. 

wget ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.33.7.tar.bz2
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/patch-2.6.33.7-rt29.bz2
tar xvjf linux-2.6.33.7.tar.bz2
mv linux-2.6.33.7 linux-2.6.33.7-rt29
ln -s linux-2.6.33.7-rt29 linux
cd linux
mv ../patch-2.6.33.7-rt29.bz2 ../linux
bunzip2 patch-2.6.33.7-rt29.bz2
patch -p1 < patch-2.6.33.7-rt29

Instead of 'uname -r' you could test if the config from the 3.3 alpha's kernel 
does work.
cp /boot/config-$(uname -r) .config
make oldconfig

Disable staging might be needed.
gedit .config
Editing
CONFIG_STAGING=y
to
# CONFIG_STAGING is not set
... and then
make oldconfig
There should be nothing to do when running make oldconfig now.

make-kpkg clean
make-kpkg --rootcmd fakeroot --initrd kernel-image kernel-headers
kernel-source

OT:

For semi-professional usage you also could use a full-professional [1]
solution ;) such as

64 Studio 3.0 beta = Ubuntu Hardy

http://download.linuxaudio.org/64studio/

64 Studio 3.3 alpha = Ubuntu Karmic

http://pdk.64studio.com/projects/64studio/karmic/images/

They might not support latest version of Tux Racer, but AFAIK this are
one of the best audio Linux [2].

Cheers!

[1] IMO no Apple, Linux and Windows computer is 'professional'. For a
'professional' studio I do prefer stand alone equipment and oldish
computers. Anyway, we might have different semantics for the word
'professional'.

[2] I experienced that they are working OOTB for my non-professional
music room.
