Well, reported that (and a separate issue) using AV Linux's report bug
feature. Turns out the JACK1 and Yoshimi packages AV Linux uses are not
Debian packages, they're custom AV Linux packages. (So why doesn't AV
Linux' report bugs for their own packages to their own tracking system?
beats me.) No help from Debian Multimedia, supposed to go check the AV
Linux forums. Apparently AV Linux wants to use things from Squeeze that
aren't being backported ... or something like that.

AV Linux is a JACK1 distro. On my hardware, JACK2 works better. Bummer,
I like the look of AV Linux.
