Including jackd itself.  There is always an xrun produced when jackd
starts up.  Jackd intentionally ignores this, you have to comment out
some code to see the report.  I was never able to figure out what causes
this xrun.  I did establish that the duration is always about the same,
depending on whether NPTL or linuxthreads is in use - in one case it was
70 ms or so, in the other 30.
