the problem is that seq24 is registering a jack_sync callback.
this is not correct. and i pretty much said that this was going to
happen.

a quick fix would be to register an empty process_callback()
this would retain the old behaviour.

however, this is still wrong.
seq24 is not a slowsync client.
you should probably do what is done in the sync callback from inside the
process cb. the process_cb is called always, and not only when the
transport starts, so one needs to go through a few hoops to obtain the
same behaviour.

i remember, that i tried to fix this, but i dont find the patch, and
reading through archives, i might have hit a few problems, when i tried
to fix it.
