I presume then that alsa is installed and configured and running, right?

You don't need to run as root.

And?

As a non-root user start Jack:
  jackstart -R -d alsa -d hw

That will tie up your terminal. 
>From another terminal type:
  terminatorX

It should start and recognize the jack server (and autoconnect its
output to your soundcard). I just tried it and it also prints some
messages at the beginning that seem to imply that the engine is not
running with realtime priority. But it seems to work anyway (the jack
audio thread will be given realtime priority by jack).
