I can't start jackd with that option even though I can
see it loud and clear in the man page as you say.
jackd --realtime -d alsa
starts up, but
jackd --realtime --unlock -d alsa
or
jackd --realtime -u -d alsa
says "unknown option character" and jackd outputs a
usage message where both "-u" and "--unlock" are shown
as examples. Huh ?! Is my jackd broken ? I installed
it through apt-get on my Debian Sarge. Version says
0.99.0.

Right! Thanks for clearing that up, Lee.
