Hi - The JACK project provides the professional low-latency audio infrastructure for all our loveliest audio apps. The "stable" version of JACK is now actually quite old and a re-implemented version (called jack2 or jackdmp) has been available for a while. It has advantages like multicore support and might (?) fix some people's firewire issues maybe...
I have copied a recent version (from debian-experimental) into my personal PPA so if you want to try it see <https://launchpad.net/~danstowell/+archive/ppa>. That webpage tells you how to add my PPA to your sources. Then you can run a command like sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install libjack0 jackd (This will also install libcelt0-0, it's a dependency) I just did this on a puredyne 9.11 and it seemed to work fine, jackd was upgraded, and supercollider happily runs on top of it. If others would like to try it please do, and let us know if the results are good or bad. WARNING ---- when installing, jackd asks a question (it asks whether or not to enable realtime process priority) - if you're using synaptic you might not see the question until you expand the "Details" thingy. It doesn't really matter whether you answer yes or no to the question, because puredyne already has the feature enabled - so I'd suggest you answer NO.
