[LAU] JACK not working with Audiophile 2496 anymore

I get these messages from JACK when I start it using QJackCtl, trying to use my AudioPhile 2496. This is running on Debian Sid, uname -a reports "3.14-2-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.14.15-2 (2014-08-09) x86_64 GNU/Linux" (but I was getting the same error on kernel 3.02.4 before that.) I am a member of the audio group. JACK starts and runs fine if I pick the "default" interface, but that doesn't play any audio through the Audiophile. (I have no idea what it's playing through.) While parts of Pulse are installed, according to "killall pulse" Pulse audio is not running. Trying to remove the installed Pulse packages wanted to also remove a bunch of other apps, such as csound, GIMP, some KDE4 apps, etc. I found an old thread on a forum where the poster said installing "dbus-python" fixed it, but the closest package I could find similar to that name is "python-dbus" and it's installed. This is a fresh Debian Sid install and my first experience with Debian's move to systemd instead of good old reliable init, so could that be messing things up? Or that it's using PAM (my prior Debian experience didn't include PAM) and htop shows a number of (sd-pam) processes running)? jackdmp 1.9.10 Copyright 2001-2005 Paul Davis and others.

I tried disabling the motherboard audio, but then ALSA wouldn't load at all. My replacement desktop system is too modern to support such old equipment as the Audiophile, it would be nice to have it working in the old desktop system where it worked fine for many years, but now no longer works. -- David W.
