Stop CD polling

On my computer HAL polls the computer every 2 seconds to see if a CD has been inserted. This can cause a problem with Jack. To see a list of items use
ps ax|grep hald-addon-storage|grep polling

execute the command sudo hal-disable-polling --device /dev/scd0

Check to see that the poling is disabled.
ps ax|grep hald-addon-storage|grep polling

Restart the computer and you should be ready to setup Jack.

Setup jack
You should now be ready to setup jack. See this article (http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/judgement-day-studio-dave-tests-ubuntu-studio-904) by Studio Dave to help with the jack setup. By the way, with all this I continued to get xruns using my Sound blaster live until I changed jack to playback only.

In the End
I did get it to work. I tried hard to setup 9.04. But I could never get of xruns while trying to run jack. Others said that there were known problems in the associated reat time kernal that could be the issue. So I went back a version and did get it to work.
