On my Xubuntu 11.10 I never had a problem. Rosegarden started and endet
my jackd. My .jackdrc was "/usr/bin/jackd -dalsa -r44100 -p128 -n2 -Xseq
-D -Chw:5,1 -Phw:0,1"
But since JACK has so many advantages (e.g. recording flash-sound when
running firefox to record streaming-only content in the web) I decided
that all applications should be redirected to jack. This works with the
following ~./asoundrc or /etc/asound.conf:
pcm.!default {
type plug
slave.pcm "jack"
}
pcm.jack {
type jack
playback_ports {
0 system:playback_1
1 system:playback_2
}
capture_ports {
0 system:capture_1
1 system:capture_2
}
}
My jackd is now started by qjackctl that's autonatically started by my
session manager.
I can now even record the sound that's produced by virtual machines
(VirtualBox), eg. browser sounds of a Windows-VM.
