first: wrong list. please use jackit-devel.
second: JACK is a realtime system. when its clients do not keep up, it
has no option but to disconnect them from its processing "graph". when
a client is still registered but is no longer part of the graph, we
consider a "zombie".
to avoid this, your program needs to ensure that it meets the
requirement of being real-time safe. see the comments in jack.h
accompanying the jack_set_process_callback() function.
