Etch and kernels and audio == poop

I upgraded the laptop to Debian testing, aka etch. Big things like x.org and udev went fine. The USB sound card works by default with ALSA. Yea. But jackd stands true as the complicated, difficult "professional" package and will not configure. I've hit the Debian BTS once again, despite some LAU email list users describing the upgrade as "easy" and giving me the advice to "stop waiting to upgrade to etch."

For the record, the 2.6.15-1-686 kernel does not work with module-assistant 0.10.2 in etch. I cannot rebuild the realtime-lsm-source module because m-a complains the kernel headers are unconfigured. So I install the kernel source and run menuconfig. Same complaint. Bug, Bug!
