Thank you Hartmut!

That's weird, I just did an export from Audacity and played it back on 
several players (aqualung, browsers, my good ol' KiSS DP1500, my phone). 
Haven't heard any distortion myself.

That's right, seq24 has no issues with Jack2. But I don't use Jack2, I 
never got it to run as stable as Jack1 for some reasons. And I always 
have to use the -S switch with Jack2 and still don't fathom its 
multi-processor support (I think I just don't have a workflow that 
benefits from this support) so I asked myself, why not just stick with 
Jack1. FWIW, seq24 doesn't work with any version of Jack1 higher than 
0.118.x. Torben Hohn looked into it and even provided a patch but since 
seq24 development seems to be completely stalled this patch got lost.
