I did as Paul suggested in qjackctl and set the frames/period to 2048.
Same error. At 512 frames per period and below qjackctl seems to run
fine. Above 512 I get the same errors that jack server cannot start.
Still no evidence of anything hitting the soundcanvas. Qjackclt
gave me the options of hw:0, default, and hw:1. The latter gave me the
heinous error message popup, former 2 did not.
BTW - alsaconf is not at all installed, nor appears available. My
synaptic package manager informs me that I do indeed have alsa-utils,
looking at the properties/dependancies the file alsaconf falls under the
category of :
Conflicts: alsaconf
Conflicts: alsaconf-0.4
...
Replaces: alsautils
Replaces:alsaconf
for what it's worth.

but it wants me to log in as root (not as sudo su) and I
don't recall the password I set...arrg!
...and enter the root passphrase, then type /sbin/alsaconf.
OTOH, Paul Davis threw in that it's not an ALSA problem but a
JACK one. Try setting the parameters on the command line or
in qjackctl as he recommended instead of running alsaconf.
BTW: Never forget the root password! But before you reinstall:
there are ways to reset the root passphrase...
