okay, updated jack.  then started jackd as root to run with realtime scheduling.

#jackd -d hammerfall -r 44100 --realtime --verbose

but then alsaplayer wouldn't connect to jack as a normal user.  i got this.

$ alsaplayer -o jack

so i started alsaplayer as root too.

#alsaplayer -o jack

it sounds perfect!!  speed is just right and i can't cause a dropout or pop even
with lots of other activity.


BTW, without the -r 44100 option to jackd, the PCM device defaulted (i guess
that's what happened) to 48000 KHz which alsaplayer reported when it started
up.  that must be why the WAV's i tested (all recorded at 44100) seemed about
10% too slow.  

i also tried (again running jackd without the option -r 44100) passing
alsaplayer the option "--frequency 44100" but it made no difference and the
WAV's still ran slow.  

thanks again,
