I used to have jack working fine on my system, but
lately strange things

jackd -v -d alsa
I get,
too many servers already active
I've also tried different variations on this (-R, etc), and using
qjackctl. I can't find any other jack processes ("ps aux | grep jack"
shows nothing). I get the same thing right after rebooting. Alsa seems
to be working (aplay, etc). Can anyone give some advice?
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.
