I think this did connect for me, but didn't run as realtime
out-of-the-box.

qjackctl should have a log, can you post this? It should say something
about adding stuff to limits for the realtime issue and I'd be
interested in the message about the socket.

Do you run a Desktop Environment? I run with bare xmonad, which doesn't
start any sound servers, but if I log into XFCE I'll have a connection
problem. Even when you don't start any programs that use it, some applet
may start PulseAudio (for example).

Cheers, Mark
