It's actually pretty easy to see your jack setup on a terminal.
I use esjit for connections:

And meterec does a great job as a VU meter:

meterec is a very simplistic console recorder, but you can run it as
meter, too, without the recording functionality.
I personally use these tools a lot on my main computer, I like to keep
X server away from my machine.

Hello Dan!
There are a few things you could try. You can just try to jack_connect
your
soundcard ports:
jack_connect system:capture_1 system:playback_1
and the same for _2. That should give you some sound.
Did you start an alsamixer on your box? I know you get sound from ALSA,
but
I have seen a USB device which wasn't agreeable with JACK, since it couldn't
find a few things or they were sketchy at best. On that thing alsamixer
didn't
work.
Not exactly a jackmeter, but you can install ecasound and ecatools, if
that
is a seperate package. Then you should do something like:
On one console you do:
ecasound --daemon -c
On another tty you type:
ecasignalview jack_auto,system jack_auto,system
Then if you generate some input you should see some lines of stars moving
and probably some numbers to indicate peaks.
When you're done quite ecasignalview by pressing q and then ecasound by q
<ENTER>.
So much for simple analysis. If you need something more specific, please
say
so and I can try to think of other good CLI tools. :-)
Kind regards
