Re: SpiralSynthModular, I think you have to manually set the sampling
rate and buffer size to match Jack's for it to work at all (if I
remember correctly). I don't have much experience with amsynth. 

I take most Jack applications are fine (ie: no clicks)?

It should have been configured when alsaconf changed /etc/modules.conf.
What you do currently have in that file?

Looks like you are running muse as root, but you are logged into the
console (ie: the graphics login) as a normal user. It should not be
necessary to run muse as root (or any program as root, for that matter).
Looks like muse cannot connect to the X server.

First time you are running it?

Normal, you are not running ladcca (session control)

Try running it as a normal user (or as the same user you are logged in
graphically).
