Hmmmm, strange. The error message would suggest some sort of ALSA (the
sound driver) problem. Does it happen only once?

What happens if you use different parameters?
  jackd -R -d alsa -d hw:0 -p 1024 -n 3

You can also try starting jack from within qjackctl (set the parameters
in the "Setup" tab. Then press the "Start" button and check the messages
in the "Messages" pane. Start a simple jack client like Hydrogen, load
one of the demo patterns and connect the audio outputs in qjackctl to
the system outputs. You might need to tweak input/output levels in
alsamixer (or better yet, in envy24control - but I don't remember if
1724 based cards are supported).
