The Edirol PCR-1 should work, especially with the quirk Clemens Ladisch 
provided you about two months ago.
And yes, some apps can take JACK down, especially when using low 
latencies. I'm having particular problems myself with Hydrogen and 
Qsynth. If I start up Qsynth I immediately get one or two xruns that 
could mute JACK. But that could be the older version of JACK that I use 
(0.116.x). Like I said, don't know about JACK2.

Best,
