Then, you have to build a working kernel.
Alfons gave me the inside line on that off-list:
"On SuSE, you need to do a 'make cloneconfig' before the 'make
menuconfig'
and all the rest. This is easily forgotten, usually giving you a kernel
that doesn't work."
Something I didn't know. However it didn't do the trick quite yet as the
resulting
kernel was still borked. I'll try a "make distclean" and start again.
I take the point about capabilities being of no use if you can't run jackd with
realtime anyway. I just guessed that capabilities might allow me to run jackd
with realtime in the first place - I think the main problem I'got is that the card
won't run duplex at a decent, small period size full stop i.e. ALSA can't set
period
size to 256 frames for capture. I don't think capabilities, root or whatever will
fix that.
So perhaps I'll just think about getting myself a decent soundcard. Well I've
got
that SW1000XG of course but that's opening up a whole other kettle of fish..
