Yes, I can reproduce this problem now. It is because SuSE 9.1 ships with 
Jack 0.94, but PortAudio needs Jack >=0.98. Solution: Install Jack 0.98 
or 0.99 from source. (You can leave SuSE's Jack 0.94 installed as well, 
it is needed by some of the multimedia packages.) The Jack sources are 
available from http://jackit.sourceforge.net/. Make sure you have the 
ALSA development package installed, then run ./configure && make && sudo 
make install. Afterwards, run sudo /sbin/ldconfig, so that ld.so knows 
about the new Jack library. q audio should then work (at least it does 
on my SuSE 9.1 system).

Cheers,
Albert

P.S.: Did you consider upgrading to SuSE 9.2 yet? 9.1 comes with a 
fairly early iteration of the 2.6 kernel, which I found to be still 
buggy in some respects, especially multithreading (this also affects 
Jack). 9.2 works *much* better for me. (SuSE 9.2 packages for Q are up 
already at http://sourceforge.net/projects/q-lang/. I just didn't get 
around updating the website yet.)
