thanks for the replies We always log into the overo as root.
I presume the startup script executes as root as well.. There is a .pdsettings file there. If I remove it, pd won't make audio, so there is something in there that makes pd work properly. Also the alsa option for audio comes up deselected. However I don't see the error about jack. I feel that for some reason alsa needs to be invoked from a login to allow audio to be used- even though the /proc/asound/devices already shows the overo soundcard, when the startup script is called.
