Paul,
   Will do so later today if I can get a few minutes free.

   I suspect this is possibly some sort of Jack setup error actually.
I didn't post it but in my Jack terminal there were a bunch of error
messages. It turns out the newest Gentoo pro-audio jack ebuild for
2.9999 required a new flag ('classic') which I hadn't heard of. I used
it and got jack installed and running, but I haven't tested it with
any other apps. Note that I was not running with real-time as I must
run 2.6.37 or higher on this box and there isn't an rt-sources kernel
at this time. (Will there ever be?)

   I'm assuming here that you _want_ me to use 2.9999 and not some
other specific version of Jack. If you do have a preference please
advise.

Thanks,
mark
