I'm upgrading to 2.6.13-r6.  I will apply the rt-preempt patch
also...and it applied with no hassle...

Reading this site:  http://tapas.affenbande.org/?page_id=3

Soundcard is the internal SiS soundcard uses the intel8x0 module.

jack cmd line: /usr/bin/jackd -R -t1000 -dalsa -dhw:0 -r44100 -p1024 -n2

Using qjackctl to start it.

So, I'll try this upgrade, which includes a lot of setting changes to
more appropriate values, and then I'll get back with success/failure
rate.  Thanks for the ideas.
