Ok, I upgraded to jackd 1.9 from 64studio. It performs much better now.

All though I have about 1000 xruns after playing with it and changing 
some banks (I used the Debian default kernel, which is good for other 
apps I used, but I'll try the 64studio kernel later)

So the Jack support of Zyn is getting better with newer jack but it 
needs quite some improvements too..

I also get messages in my terminal

jack client reports error: JackActivationCount::Signal value = 0 ref = 4
jack client reports error: JackActivationCount::Signal value = 0 ref = 4
jack client reports error: JackActivationCount::Signal value = 0 ref = 4
