Could you open the 'Messages' window and paste the logging?

You need to apply the configuration mentioned at
http://wiki.linuxmusicians.com/doku.php ... imits.conf and add yourself to the audio group.
After changing that file, if i recall correctly you'll have to log out and back in to have them take effect.

Not to get things working - for this error the 'limits.conf' part should be enough.
If later you decide you decide you want to tune for improved performance you can revisit that page, but it's not strictly necessary.

the file limits.conf is not writable. is there an easy way to change this?
and do I need to add these lines to that file? it seems that # means it's a comment-line, correct?

you need to be root to edit it. Use sudo. And yes, # is (usually) a comment.
