Oops, so everything regarding to audio using jackd for your machine
appears to be ok.
I never used wsjt myself.
If you now would launch wsjt, the card would be kicked out?
I'm puzzled.
Is the package pulseaudio installed? If so, I would test what happens if
it's removed. OTOH I wonder why your Debian was ok before you did the
upgrade.
Hm?
I'll install wstj now ...

:D Hm? PulseAudio isn't installed on my machine.
Starting jackd first didn't improve anything on my machine.
But I e.g. can launch Ardour.

No :D
