Hi derek:
Thanks for the reply;)
First: yes, ALSA wants to be modules. Always. You can either compile the built-in ALSA as modules, or emerge the alsa-driver package.
Argh, I have ALSA compiled not as modules, I will compile it again and see what happens.
Is this really necessary? Although it is more conventient to have ALSA as modules (and everyone does it) it should not affect the realtime module, as this is not dealing with ALSA at all. Of course ALSA should work for Jack to work.
However the kernel modules for LSM must be modules for jackd to work, like:
$ ls /lib/modules/2.6.9/kernel/security/ capability.ko commoncap.ko realtime.ko
Beware though that there is a newly discovered security flaw in the LSM modules:

Bottom line: Loading the LSM modules will give all already running processes root capabilities. A cracker's dream!!!
I *think* that loading the modules very early in the boot process could prevent that as a quick fix, however the above mentioned patch is the cleaner solution.
