awe. you seem to have a strange problem with (all) my apps and midi 
(alsa-seq) stuff i presume?

complete details about your setup might help, specially everything 
regarding the kernel, dmesg, modprobe.conf, lsmod output, limits.conf, 
root or a regular user, whether you're trying to run any of the jackd
