I'm using a hand compiled kernel under debian testing - 2.6.26.8 with 
the rt16 patch. I also tried a 2.6.29 kernel with rt23, but this didn't 
work. (May have been my mistake but I ended up with a problem with 
repeating keys and also the jack daemon wouldn't start properly.)

Will try what you've suggested and let you know how it goes.

Many thanks for the time you've spent looking into this.

cheers,
