I've started using JACK with 48 kHz.

Doubtful. Playback is fine with XMMS through long playlists.

I did add the 'no-hlt' instruction to lilo.conf, that definitely fixed a 
problem with mouse noise. I've been experimenting with various settings 
for JACK, I'll put a report together when I've found my optimal values.

I'm a little suspicious about the nVidia card/driver combination. Anyone 
else using a gForce with the nVidia driver ?

I'm also interested in anyone else's settings, experiences with, or 
opinions on using an SBLive with JACK.

Best,
