[PlanetCCRMA] Alsa-Jack config on Fedora 4

[Bob Bailey]

Thanks Fernando.  I think I determined that I didn't need to run 
alsaconf, but only after I'd run it.  Can I then delete the alsaconf 
generated section and replace with your suggestion from below?

by the way, here is /proc/asound/cards and /proc/devices:

[root at daw bbailey]# cat /proc/asound/cards
0 [M410           ]: ICE1712 - M Audio Delta 410
                     M Audio Delta 410 at 0xd000, irq 10

[root at daw bbailey]# cat /proc/devices
Character devices:
  1 mem
  4 /dev/vc/0
  4 tty
  4 ttyS
  5 /dev/tty
  5 /dev/console
  5 /dev/ptmx
  7 vcs
 10 misc
 13 input
 14 sound
 29 fb
116 alsa
128 ptm
136 pts
180 usb
226 drm

Block devices:
  1 ramdisk
  2 fd
  3 ide0
  9 md
 22 ide1
253 device-mapper
254 mdp

looks like ALSA is there.

When I start envy24control, it starts to initiate, but quickly closes.  
hmmm.  here is the output:

[root at daw bbailey]# envy24control
using    --- input_channels: 2
         --- output_channels: 8
         --- pcm_output_channels: 8
         --- spdif in/out channels: 2
Segmentation fault

started jackd and got this.... looks like it is up.  Is there a reason 
it wouldn't start with qjackctl?

[root at daw bbailey]# jackd -R -d alsa -d hw
