I have seen issues, too. I get heavily crackled sound on a first clients audio output upon loading of a second client
into the graph.
The crackling sometimes disappears when loading a third client.
The server may also crash sometimes while crackling along.

I have bisected it down to: 423931219dd3e3b669fde97786cadae92c066dc1
before that I do not seem to experience these crackles.

I get the crackles *sometimes*. My general setup is Clementine playing audio, then ardour starts up. 1 time in 10, Clementine will crackle like crazy and then it will die and/or the server will die. Not using Clementine, 1 in 15 times that I run Ardour, I can kill the server.

I also bisected it down to fons' topological sort patch. Which is a problem because in some ways that's the biggest reason for this new release :(
