Is there another (secure) way of using jackd in realtime without 
making it suid root?

What advice can I give to an unexperienced linux user?

It's a matter of hardware then?  Till now I am bound to use the 
builtin audio from my ASUS A7N8X Deluxe.  But that's not as bad. 
  For live recording I'm using a iBook with TC.works Spark LE 
and Tascam US-122 as audio interface.  Then import the session 
into ardour and find out what next ;-)))
