OK, I've updated AppNote 001 to include this change, as well as a slew of 
other updates to bring it up to date with v0.8.4.  Thanks, folks!

It does.  You need to be sure that jackd(8) is running *before* the Rivendell 
daemons are started.  You can do something like this (as root):

	/etc/init.d/rivendell stop
	jackd -d alsa -d hw:0 -r 44100 &
	/etc/init.d/rivendell start

I'm still experimenting with ways to automate this process at bootup.  I 
suspect we'll need a proper init script for jackd to get it to work properly.

I do have the messages, but it'll take a bit of work to get them in a fit 
state for posting.  In the meantime, Robert Orr has been kind enough to 
provide an archive running back to March 2004:
