my only problems now are outside of jack, - i think jack works ok. Using 
the xine engine in amarok produces lots of clicks. Moving to the Helix 
engine works much better.
Audacity, w/o jack, clicks too with any typing, net, window movement... 
the usual.

I'm also concerned with the playback rate. Some apps playback too slow 
(amarok and snd, neither with jack) while audacity plays back at the 
right sample rate (with or w/o jack).
