Great, that's good help and a useful link
As it turned out I did the most noob thing ever and was forgetting to
type in -R so I had
jackstart -v -d alsa -d hw:0 instead of
jackstart -v -R -d alsa -d hw:0
It's 1:30am here and that's when I noticed. I typed it out wrong right
from the onset and was using the consoles history to execute it. As a
result I never noticed the absence of the -R!
So now I have good recording power again but xmms still packs a sad.
I'll try out the IRQ thing tomorrow (or is that today?)
Thanks, everyone.

No, it's not.

Here's the order of interrupt priority on a non-APIC machine:
0, 1, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7
0 is the highest priority
7 is the lowest priority
5 is way down on the list, just about everything else has priority
over it. I have a Delta 1010, and rarely run into xruns. My IRQs are:
xtc:~% cat /proc/interrupts

2: 0 XT-PIC cascade

I've turned off the USB ports on my machine as well as acpi, which handles
OS-directed configuration and power management.
