Alfons gave me the inside line on that off-list:

"On SuSE, you need to do a 'make cloneconfig' before the 'make menuconfig'
 and all the rest.  This is easily forgotten, usually giving you a kernel
 that doesn't work."

Something I didn't know.  However it didn't do the trick quite yet as the resulting
kernel was still borked.  I'll try a "make distclean" and start again.

I take the point about capabilities being of no use if you can't run jackd with
realtime anyway.  I just guessed that capabilities might allow me to run jackd
with realtime in the first place - I think the main problem I'got is that the card
won't run duplex at a decent, small period size full stop i.e. ALSA can't set period
size to 256 frames for capture.  I don't think capabilities, root or whatever will
fix that.

So perhaps I'll just think about getting myself a decent soundcard.  Well I've got
that SW1000XG of course but that's opening up a whole other kettle of fish..
