exactly.

if you connect any other thing to that same input port the "zero-copy" 
issue goes away :)

side-note to who might concern: it has been previously reported as a 
qtractor bug though, when doing this kind of direct loopback in a 
brainless bouncing scenario. fact is, it's one half of the problem (jack 
zero-copy optimization)--the other half gets to which track bounces to 
which first (ie. depends on process/track order) and that's definitively 
a qtractor's under-the-hood issue but not one i call urgent atm. 
besides, jack's "zero-copy" issue remains still, attotw

alas, i am not that convinced it is a jack bug. if one, say a jack 
client, ever wants to allow a direct loopback, why doesn't he/she do the 
appropriate code him/her-self? it's a lousy memcpy() away isn't it?
