[LAU] FW: jackd -r | PD -rt

I've been pursuing and open-source audio studio for a while now, and I am almost there. I'm running a G3/500mhz 'pismo' powerbook with eho audio's Layla24. My question today involves PureData and jack. Some background first. I have had success compiling a custom rt patched kernel 2.6.23.1-rt11, as well as the neewest kernel. I have set up PAM to allow realtime privileges to my user and groups in /etc/security/limits.conf. I've also changed the priority of softirg- stuff to 99 with chrt. As far as I know, all this should give a working non-root realtime system. My problem comes when working In my main environment: PD. I am working with the snd-layla24 driver and qjackctl. I've been able to get jack running with -R enabled. However, when I launce pd with the -rt flag, I get horrible A/D/A sync issues resulting in *UNINTENTIONAL* crackles and pops (as opposed to the intentional ones I'll make as soon as this is running). Worst of all, there are no Xruns at all. Before I messed with pam, I was getting very low latency running both jack and PD as root. Does anyone have an idea for how to proceed, a idiot-proof configuration that works? Id love to eventually get <10ms at 8ch i/o. Shed those extra pounds with MSN and The Biggest Loser!
