[linux-audio-user] Newbie Linux user Struggling with MIDI

[PhilJackson]

I did as Paul suggested in qjackctl and set the frames/period to 2048.
Same error.  At 512 frames per period and below qjackctl seems to run 
fine.  Above 512 I get the same errors that jack server cannot start.  
Still no evidence of anything hitting the soundcanvas.  Qjackclt
gave me the options of hw:0, default, and hw:1.   The latter gave me the 
heinous error message popup, former 2 did not. 

BTW  - alsaconf is not at all installed, nor appears available.  My 
synaptic package manager informs me that I do indeed have alsa-utils,
looking at the properties/dependancies the file alsaconf falls under the 
category of :
Conflicts: alsaconf
Conflicts: alsaconf-0.4
...
Replaces: alsautils
Replaces:alsaconf

for what it's worth.

thanks,

Phil J.
