Debian site has no lowlatency patches for kernel 2.6 so I think they are 
included.

I got this output:
$ jackstart
jackstart: not running suid root, can't use capabilities

What should I do here?

Can Fluidsynth play a MIDI file directly without using KMid, so I can 
configure Mozilla to play MIDI with it?
