I think I mentioned it before, but I used to get zombies all the time
when switching instruments, now with 2.4.0 (the thing yoshimi is
apparently based on) I don't get them anymore but you guys get them
with yoshimi?

I'm running jack without any -t setting, don't know what it defaults to
then, 500ms?
