Thanks Fernando. I think I determined that I didn't need to run
alsaconf, but only after I'd run it. Can I then delete the alsaconf
generated section and replace with your suggestion from below?
by the way, here is /proc/asound/cards and /proc/devices:
[root@daw bbailey]# cat /proc/asound/cards
0 [M410 ]: ICE1712 - M Audio Delta 410
M Audio Delta 410 at 0xd000, irq 10
[root@daw bbailey]# cat /proc/devices
Character devices:
1 mem
4 /dev/vc/0
4 tty
4 ttyS
5 /dev/tty
5 /dev/console
5 /dev/ptmx
7 vcs
10 misc
13 input
14 sound
29 fb
116 alsa
128 ptm
136 pts
180 usb
226 drm
Block devices:
1 ramdisk
2 fd
3 ide0
9 md
22 ide1
253 device-mapper
254 mdp
looks like ALSA is there.
When I start envy24control, it starts to initiate, but quickly closes.
hmmm. here is the output:
[root@daw bbailey]# envy24control
using --- input_channels: 2
--- output_channels: 8
--- pcm_output_channels: 8
--- spdif in/out channels: 2
Segmentation fault
started jackd and got this.... looks like it is up. Is there a reason
it wouldn't start with qjackctl?

Try with this for the soundcard options:
alias snd-card-0 snd-ice1712
options snd-card-0 index=0
options snd-ice1712 index=0
That should be all you need.

This is all very strange.
What do you have in:
cat /proc/asound/cards
cat /proc/asound/devices
If you don't have anything there then alsa is not started.
If you appear to have things there try starting "envy24control" to make
sure it can see your card.
Then start (from the command line first) jack:
jackd -R -d alsa -d hw
