I use this very hacky script that I bind to my Play media key (I use
openbox for this):

---
#!/bin/bash

function jack_transport_status() {
  jack_showtime | head -n1 & &> /dev/null
}

if jack_transport_status | grep -q -i stopped
then
  echo play | jack_transport &> /dev/null
  killall jack_showtime
else
  echo stop | jack_transport &> /dev/null
  killall jack_showtime
fi
---

I named it jack_start_transport. Maybe it can point you in the right
direction. I assume there are better ways to do this and this script
probably isn't the best showcase of how to script these kind of things ;)
