thanks for answering.  funny, i did use the "jackd" option in qjackctl,
and in the command-line call, (/usr/bin/jackd -R -dalsa -dhw:0 -r48000
-p1024 -S) but that "cannot write to jackstart" still only shows up when
using qjackctl (not CLI).  i realize now too that in the "status" window
of qjackctl, it does say realtime mode: yes, but the "RT" light in the
main window is dark.  i still get thousands of xruns trying to do
anything.
