I did that first, and then got the other e-mail. It seems my issue is actually something with qjackctl, as I have found that I can get a working setup using jackd from the command line, and then use qjackctl to set stuff up... I had become accustomed to qjackctl 'just working' as a frontend for jackd, so I figured there was an issue with something in the drivers, etc... I will definitely post my solution when everything is resolved.
