Actually I just did the opposite and disabled jackdbus, because jackd I
understand (I think ;).

There is no documentation for jack_control and if I recall jack_control -h or --help do not work either but jack_control on it's own does. I think it is just a python script so looking through the file with an editor or pager would work too. I like jackdbus because the application that starts it is not the only one that can manipulate things in it. I find it very flexable. However using what you are used to is a great idea. You don't need to learn two new things at the same time.

I am sure if you powered the d1010 down while the system was running
you would have similar problems or worse. Don't do that. I think if
Again, that's a fair point and it's partly only because of the problems
I'm having that I find myself doing it. With the Delta 1010 the external
rack boxes could be powered down but of course the cards stayed powered.

I was not aware of that as the delta 66 box does not have a power switch on the breakout box.

I do still think that it ought to be possible to power the Focusrite down
and get an error and a jack shutdown rather than hanging, but if not I'll

Actually, it is quite reasonable to expect an external audio IF should be able to be connected or disconnected on the fly... but I think last time I tried that with a USB interface (ALSA driver) things were difficult as well. I was going to ask if you had tried the ALSA FW stack.

On the click side of things, I've found a firewire debug setting and turned
it up and can now see that the clicks correspond perfectly to kernel
messages like this:

I do not know enough about fw to say. I don't recall now if you are still using a desktop (as with the d1010s). If so I would try moving the FW interface to different slots to see if this helps. Prioritizing the irq of course helps too, but I am assuming you have already done so.

trying 32/3 instead 64/2 or any */3. This is just generally a good idea with any "networked" audio IF such as FW, USB or AoIP.
