Ah ... fine !
At LAU-ML, I found a message (02.02.2009) by Robin Gareus,
which solves the problem:

`echo -1 > /proc/sys/kernel/sched_rt_runtime_us`

or edit /etc/sysctl.conf and add:
kernel.sched_rt_runtime_us = -1

and his comment:
"""
indeed, jackd did not start unless run as root or until I changed
/proc/sys/kernel/sched_rt_runtime_us

It's the us (or .001% of CPU usage?!) above which FIFO and RR will be
throttled to recover from a run-away rt process. - I'm not exactly sure
why it affects jackd when run as "normal" user; maybe because with CPU
load above the default 95% rt can not be guaranteed.

There's a bit [off topic] but enlightening info at
http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/linux-kernel/2008/8/16/2960524

"""

Thanks
