Ok, seems either

a] jack is not installed properly
b] it is run with options that won't work on your box
c] kde sux ;)

what happens if you do this from the console:

jackd -d alsa -p 512

pkg-config jack --cflags --libs

I don't fully understand what you say, but:

Do you have the ALSA development files installed? In pretty much all
distros there's a distinction between just a library package and a
corresponding development packages which you need when you want to
compile stuff against that lib.

Did you install jack by hand or from a package?

This can have soooooooooooooo many reasons. Try usign a bigger
buffersize. I also think i saw that artsd can run with reltime priv,
too. Check the kontrol center for that. Keep in mind you probably need
rtlimits setup correctly or the realtime lsm.
