can you explain a bit what is supposed to be "the right jackd"?

afaict, qjackctl starts jackd with the exact argument parameters as
given in its setup dialog, no more, no less, no guessing. you can check
that on the messages window, the exact jackd command line that qjackctl
invokes.

if that happen not to be "the right jackd" then there's something going
hideously wrong from inside jackd code path, as it probably is ignoring
or overriding its own command line arguments.
