With these settings things seem to be much better here as well (at least 
no clicks from Hydrogen until now).

I do have CPU frequency scaling, the laptop is about 1 year old. It's an 
IBM T42p with a 1.8GHz proc and 1GB of ram, I don't know why they didn't 
put a Firewire port in it, otherwise it is a very good machine.

I just opened Ardour, which is what I want to use to record, and noticed 
that the inputs and ouputs of my card showed up in the Jack connection 
window. I was able to record a short track, apparently no xruns. It's my 
first time with Ardour and Jack, so next I'm going to do some 
experimenting cum doc reading.

Thanks for the tips, they're most useful. And thanks to Fernando too of 
course for the kind support,
