You may be having sample rate mismatching in the options dialog. It has 
to be the same as the sample rate you run jack at and also has to point 
ot the same device hw:1,0 etc... ATM this is not automatic.

I am using ssm here now with latest cvs and the jack plugin.So far 
everything is working to order.

My fix for the function pointer type mismatch:

Seems that changing the declaration to an unsigned int on 
JackPlugin.C:174 and JackPlugin.h:62 is the fix.

Being on stage with the band in front of crowds shouting, "Get off! No! 
We want normal music!", I think that was more like acting than anything 
I've ever done.
