I had a similar problem before - I think it happened after my machine
had been powered off without shutting down (not my fault!)
I solved the problem by deleting a pair of temporary jack files
somewhere, and then rebooting.
I think they are jack buffer files. Try to do a 'locate fifo'.
I'll have a look for them in the morning and post back.

I did find two files that I tried deleting:
~/.qt/.qjackctlrc.lock
/var/lock/subsys/alsasound
Initialy I was getting the same error, but after rebooting now it works!
Thanks!
Well, I shouldn't say it's now working... now I'm getting:
required capabilities not available
capabilities: = cap_ipc_lock,cap_sys_nice,cap_sys_resource+e
within the qjackctl messages on start.
But, I guess this is unrelated, so I'll have to look into this now...
thanks again.
