[linux-audio-user] Dodgey issues with my Delta 1010LT

I'm stumped.

I have two problems
1. I can never get two sound processes to work at once. If I have xmms 
running, jack will refuse to start with this error

ALSA lib pcm_hw.c:1155:(snd_pcm_hw_open) open /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p failed: 
Device or resource busy
the playback device "hw:0" is already in use. Please stop the 
application using it and run JACK again
cannot load driver module alsa

This shouldn't happen because the sounblaster can do it fine

2. And the weirdest thing of all. All the playback of music is too fast! 
I'm sure of it. All my mp3s are seemingly playing ever so slightly to0 
fast so that the pitch is raised and it sounds crazy. It seemed so odd 
that I timed an mp3 with my stop watch and on the player it says that it 
runs for 4min 05s when in reality it runs for 3min 48s .  That kind of 
difference is not a good thing. The playback is also stuttery at times 
which is totally unusual for my system.

Seriously, Avril Lavigne doesn't sound that great at increase speed.

I could really do with some help.
