SOLVED!! (well, sort of) I did what I should have done in the first place - commented out every line in .asoundrc (including the one with a link to .asoundrc.asoundconf, so the system wasn't seeing alsa's default settings, then set everything in qjackctl to 'default'. At first, I was getting a complaint that I was using th plug layer, but that seems to have gone away now as well. Only problem is that qjackctl sometimes makes the toolbars vanish when you roll the mouse over them... but then I can always run jackd from a command line launcher. The moral is: let the kernel sort it out.
