A couple of weeks ago, you showed me the trick that rackunit uses to allow

I assume (hope) you meant
  (require (prefix-in drlink: "private/drracket-link.rkt"))

for the relative require.

Another thing to consider, if you're going to be distributing this code via PLaneT, is that users will have to restart DrRacket after installing the package so the tool can take effect.
n drlink: (planet "drracket-link.rkt" ("clements" "rsound.plt") "private")))

This works, but seems extremely fragile.  Does it make sense to you that this 
would be required?  Without it, I get the error below:

From what I recall, the call to namespace-module-attach must use the correct absolute module path, but the require can be relative. I confirmed that that's how the last PLaneT version of schemeunit that included the tool (version (2 12)) did it.

It looks like you're using a PLaneT development link. Perhaps that's the source of the problem?

How about dropping the following code into drracket-link.rkt so it prints out its (absolute) resolved module path when it gets required from the tool.

  (eprintf "drracket-link.rkt = ~s\n"
           (resolved-module-path-name
            (variable-reference->resolved-module-path
             (#%variable-reference))))
