There should be no problem running jackd, the jack daemon from the command line. I do it all the time for my RME Multiface. Note, though, you should not be attempting to use jack with the same hardware sound device that you're using for speech-dispatcher or for espeakup. That won't work. I launch jackd like this: #!/bin/bash #jackd --sync -X alsa_midi -dalsa -dhw:4 -r48000 -p256 - jackd --sync -dalsa -dhw:4 -r48000 -p256 - 2>&1 & More info on the jackd man page.
