[LAU] jack crash at rosegarden start up with NI Audio Kontrol 1 (snd_usb_caiaq bug?)

I would like to understand if it is a JACK or a driver issue. It is
obviously not a Rosegarden problem.
I have the same problem if I run jackd with -Xseq option ("MIDI driver: seq"
in qjackctl). It starts normally, but if I try to shut it down the process
jackd enters in an " Uninterruptible sleep" state (waiting for IO?) and I
cannot kill it:

$ ps -eo pid,cmd,state | grep jackd
 7997 [jackd]                     D
 8836 grep jackd                  R

I posted this issue to the alsa-devel and jack-devel mailing lists too, but
no one answered me.

I will let you know any progress.
Cheers,
Marco
