Since I would (still) have to compile jackd from upstream in order to
get the fix related a race condition when exporting with Ardour, can
Ardour be switched from using jackd to ALSA for a session, just the
time to do the export and then switched back ?  And in doing so, is
there any drawback in doing the export with ALSA ?

Thanks.
