ok... with this new kernel and alsa stuff, i tried the following command 
line to start jack:

jackd -v -R -d alsa -C -P -dhw:1 -r44100 -p128 -n2 -D

piping the output to a file didn't work because the machine locks up 
tight as a drum -- can't even get to another login terminal. however, i 
did observe the following in the jack output:

required capabilities not available
capabilities: =

and then later (after all the i/o channels of my multiface appear to 
have come up):

4935 waiting for signals

...and then it just sits there, completely locked up.
(the number at the beginning of that line changes each time i try it)

if anyone out there has any idea what's going on, please let me know!

thanks much, in advance.
