Paul Davis released a 0.9beta-Version of Ardour as a source-tarball that
installs well on SuSE 8.2 if you have:

jack >=0.6.6 (install the devel-package also if you install rpm )

recent pkg_config (PKG_CONFIG_PATH must be set manually to find liblrdf
on my system)

and: dev-util/pkgconfig
 >=media-libs/alsa-lib-0.9.0_rc7
 media-sound/jack-cvs
 =dev-libs/glib-1.2*
 =x11-libs/gtk+-1.2*
 >=media-libs/libsndfile-1.0.4
 sys-libs/gdbm
 >=media-libs/ladspa-sdk-1.12
 >=media-libs/libsamplerate-0.0.14
 >=media-libs/liblrdf-0.3.1
 >=dev-libs/libxml2-2.5.7
 =media-libs/libart_lgpl-2.3*" 

most of these should be easy to find for SuSE 8.1 and of course as
easy-to-build tarballs.

dont forget to build ardour with:

# ./configure --enable-optimize

the popup you mentioned also appears, when i run thacs rpm version of
ardour for Mandrake 9.1, it does not on SuSE, even though the recording
stops as well caused by those latency-issues, the session can be
continued savely (only the recording is interrupted...)

good luck
