The file was already as below.  So I ran the dpkg-reconfigure command 
in there.  And I added my user name to the group file, and rebooted. Now 
qjackctl shows all 1010LT ins and outs, so things are moving on.  There 
was no need to specify the card's name which is good in a sense, because 
I do not know where to specify the name.  qjackctl does not seemingly 
take a card name as a parameter.

Sorry, I'm using the web interface mail thing from the ISP who did some 
modifications to their email service and it's not that good - I should 
get back to using sylpheed but haven't done it yet.

Well, thanks for the setup tips.  It now works.  So, if I notice 
glitches and many xruns then I will know that I should use a low latency 
kernel ?  The machine is quad core with 16G RAM with a ASUS mobo that 
has an new-improved-updated sata interface for the drives.
