to run ableton (6.something) you need to disable sound (alsa or jack, 
might work with oss).
which doesnt make much sense. anyhow, it is better to use virtualbox and
run it from there. you might map some usb devices to reroute midi from 
windows to
linux. on the other hand one might be tempted to write a backend for the
virtualbox AC97 "device" to use jack (could be around one weekend of 
hacking).
for virtualbox you should disable all the directdraw acceleration of 
your virtualbox-gfx
adaptor (not the vesa one), because ableton has some issues with 
refreshing otherwise.

so long...
