Yeah, well, the problem is an old one: jack is intended for
(semi-)professional audio. While many people use it for desktop-sounds too,
that is not what jack is made for and its not what the devs support.
And real users of jack are quite happy to start jackd by hand/gui-apps with
specific options on specific (not cheap;) devices (can be alsa or firewire)
and have the desktop-soundsystem "just work" on the internal soundcard.
So what I meant with "if you know what you are doing" was "if you are a
musician or audio-tech and really know jack". Because jack is not (and never
intended to be) for the desktop-users, its for audio work...
Have fun,
Arnold
