jackd

[westlake]

Is the developer's mailing list jack-devel at jackaudio.org addressable for 
Debian user help?(I'm guessing Debian does not either fork nor change it 
too much for me to be concerned, but I'd like to know before contacting 
jack-devel's mailinglist)

I'm very stuck here, jackd ultimately isn't working here for me on 
Wheezy. jackd fails to start with the help of qjackctl and I'm not sure 
if it's either a bug or me doing something wrong..

(I get an output from jackd -R -d alsa,
"ALSA: Cannot open PCM device alsa_pcm for playback. Falling back to 
capture-only mode
Cannot initialize driver
JackServer::Open failed with -1
Failed to open server
"
tried looking at various avenues .asoundrc, I can see something about 
jack with dbus when using dbus-monitor..

Not sure if it's related to the software setup or if it's due to the 
onboard intel sound hardware.. I'm using kernel 3.9 from backports
