[Jackaudio] Distorted sound out of JACK-consumed programs

[Roberto Carraro]

So, I went a bit further in the troubleshooting process. I realized that 
Reaper autosaves .wav files of what's being played.
While those files when played through the audio board (as output device) 
and with headphones are distorted, if I play them out of my pc speakers 
they come out nicely.
Besides, Reaper can also use ALSA as input, not only JACK and the 
results are the same.
So I may have to look elsewhere for my issue.
