I have never had good results using the jack_net_master/slave or 
jack_netsource. Netjack2 where the master has jack_load netmanager run 
after jack is running and the slave(s) are started with jackd -d net has 
worked quite well for me. See:
https://github.com/jackaudio/jack2/blob/master/README_NETJACK2

I am not saying the other ones are broken, just that I never figured them 
out. Also note that when I was playing with it, I had some rather marginal 
machines. My master was a P4 (simgle core) which was fine but my slave had 
less than .5gb ram and ran at less than 1Ghz.

For transporting audio, Zita-j2n/n2j works really well.
