Check that you don't have two version on the system, or at least that 
the version root is finding is the most up to date.

Interesting.

Certianly. I can, but I don't have any completely headless boxes to look 
at what you're doing. I can say that my Gentoo boxes routinely boot to a 
text login (Idon't even have xdm or gdm on my systems) and then are only 
accessed remotely. They do run Jack just fine so I know for a fact that 
there's no hard requirement that X be running on the :0 display of that 
box to get audio out of the box. I can run run qjackctl in the studio 
from my desktop here at work and play and/or record audio in my house. 
It does work.
