I saw this error when i tried to start jack with optimistic period values.
try with something considerably higher to test that (add -p4096 -n3 -r96000
to the command line invocation for example). That's too much latency for
some (probably most) scenarios but it might get you a step closer to finding out what's wrong.
Get a RT kernel setup too and try that.
