I still don't like this. Although it probably won't effect most people,
it will break reverse dependencies if you try to do a partial upgrade
from jessie to stretch.

I think you either need to do a local soname change (not 6!), or rename
the package to something like librtaudio5a and have it Conflicts the
old package name.

That corresponds to the second renaming case on this page (there is no
SONAME change when compared to jessie):
