Jack can be run as a normal user by installing realtime-lsm-source and building the realtime-lsm module for your kernel by running module-assistant. Then you can run jack as a normal user when this module is loaded. (Sometimes I have had to reboot before the module will load successfully.) I think by default any user in the audio group can use it. However, for this to work you need CONFIG_SECURITY_CAPABILITIES=m in your kernel config. which is not the Debian default, so you may have to recompile your kernel. If you do, you may as well change the timer resolution to 1000 Hz, which is necessary for decent audio work: CONFIG_HZ_1000=y CONFIG_HZ=1000 There is also the jackstart command, which has never worked for me... Anyway, once you have jack running as a normal user, ardour should run that way too. I know, it should be easier!
