Hi
I'm interested in your problem, but I'm a newbie who's just been wrestling
with a similar problem, so don't take anything I say as definitive.

Your card does not have capture capability, or very many devices at all!
advice I was given on this matter: [thanks Bob]
If you do "jackd -d alsa --help" you'll get a list of options
for the alsa driver. Try giving it -P (which makes it use playback mode
so it won't try and set up capture.)

I don't _think_ you want to remove the alsa oss compatibility modules, all
the modules with snd- prefix are alsa modules.
Good Luck
