[LAU] Kernel 2.6.39.1

Hi, I guess this should be a new thread. I also tried to figure out myself what I'm missing and I asked on Debian users mailing list first. Sorry, but I've to asked again. $ uname -a Linux debian 2.6.39.1 #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue Jun 7 01:40:05 CEST 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux I started with my current kernel-rt's config and run make oldconfig. PREEMPT? Before I build and installed the kernel I removed all ALSA packages excepted of libasound2 1.0.23-4, a dependency for the Debian audio packages. I didn't replace it by a dummy package. This seems not to be the correct way to use Kernel's ALSA? I can run $ jackd --sync -Xalsarawmidi -dalsa -r48000 -p1024 without getting an error message, it's the same for $ jackd --sync -dalsa -r48000 -p1024 but if I run qjackctl I get 03:11:54.885 Patchbay deactivated. 03:11:54.887 Statistics reset. 03:11:54.913 Could not open ALSA sequencer as a client. ALSA MIDI patchbay will be not available. ALSA lib seq_hw.c:457:(snd_seq_hw_open) open /dev/snd/seq failed: Permission denied Cannot connect to server socket err = No such file or directory Cannot connect to server socket jack server is not running or cannot be started E.g. no alsaconf. The "Xilinx RME Hammerfall DSP MADI" is the RME HDSPe AIO, shouldn't the name be correct for the new driver/firmware? When running Jack, instead of showing the name DSP MADI and two MIDI devices for the DSP MADI, there's no name and only one MIDI device for the first card, hence the driver/firmware was switched? # a a2j alias apt-sortpkgs atobm a2j_control alsa_in ar atop a2jmidi_bridge alsa_out arch atopsar a2jmidid amsynth ardour2 atq a2p anacron ardour2-session_exchange.py atrm a2x analyseplugin arp aubiocut ac3dec apm_available arpd aubionotes accept applyplugin artscat aubioonset accessdb appres artsd aubiopitch aclocal apropos artsdsp aubiotrack aclocal-1.11 apt-add-repository artsmessage audacity aconnectgui apt-cache artsplay autoconf acpi apt-cdrom artsrec autoheader acpi_available apt-config artsshell autom4te acpid apt-extracttemplates artswrapper automake acpi_listen apt-ftparchive as automake-1.11 add-apt-repository apt-get as10k1 autoreconf addgroup aptitude asciidoc autoscan addpart aptitude-create-state-bundle aspell autoupdate addr2line aptitude-curses aspell-autobuildhash awk add-shell aptitude-run-state-bundle aspell-import axi-cache adduser apt-key asunder aeolus apt-listchanges at agetty apt-mark atd # h h2ph halt hd head helpztags history horgand hostid html2text hwclock hydrogen h2xs hash hdparm help hexdump hmac256 host hostname htop hwinfo # hwinfo --sound incorrect, assertion "(dest) == NULL || !dbus_error_is_set ((dest))" failed in file dbus-errors.c line 280.
