I understand where this is coming from and Zyn is at fault here but the 
problem is not as grave as one can be led to believe, Zyn does not HAVE 
to be popped out.

This all stems from the fact that Jack by default kicks all clients that 
cannot, for whatever reason, meet the deadline for each roundtrip.
Personally I don't think this is a good practice outside of a 
development environment, the data may still be useful and the incident 
will be logged.
It's a bit like using asserts to make sure you're catching ugly problems 
during development but in the release-version asserts are normally disabled.

It is very easy to reconfigure jack to give all applications some slack 
using:
jackd -t 4000 -d <backend> -s <your favourite parameters>

-t 4000 extends timeout to 4000 milliseconds
-s sets jack in softmode (set for the backend I believe)
(I think that's the right parameters, don't have acccess to a system 
right now.)

Regards,
Robert
