That's absolutely the problem, but the limit is arbitrary. Feel free to
recompile jackd2 with changed constants in JackConstants.h.

I guess you need to tweak a bunch of other values as well.

PORT_NUM, PORT_NUM_MAX, DRIVER_PORT_NUM (that's per direction),
PORT_NUM_FOR_CLIENT

That should be it.

Play a bit so it matches your setup. Feel free to send a patch.
