This is because `jackstart' requires capabilities, only available with
`allcaps=1'.

Only a little. But, you don't need it if you run `jackd' instead.

Yes, set LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.19 in your environment for the JACK
server and every client process. Easiest way is to set it globally.
I'm working on an update to the JACK FAQ to cover this. The current
draft version is here...

Comments, clarifications and corrections are welcome. Soon I will
post it to the JACK website.
