Hi there, I need help to configure Ubuntustudio on my machine

[Matthias Beyer]

Update:

I got a new, really confusing "error".
I played around with jack. I selected hw:1,0 as Input device (which is 
the ESI) and hw:1,1 as output (which is also the ESI). Jack is running, BUT
- no sound
- Status output tells me:
     XRUN callback (1).
     XRUN callback (39 skipped)

The last line about 20 times, one time with "(41 skipped)" and one time 
with "(40 skipped)", than I halted Jack.

Now I try with hw:1,1 as Input and 1,0 as output - and got the old 
error. I reversed to 1,1 as output and 1,0 as input and got the old 
error again.
