Probably not enough memory. Try to run jack without memory locking (it
is an option in qjackctl's setup dialog box). I think there might also
be problems if you run lisp as just playing will try to lock all of it
into memory and it is huge...

What I usually do is to check those from the pull down menus (I think it
is in the second or third from the left), and then save the preferences.
The proper things get added to .emacs...
