live coding over net is trendy and there are tools linked to libjack,
often with the possibility to call foreign functions. In this context,
an user without particular privileges could cause a crash to the root.

Regardless, to complete the report, the hidden functions are:

cleanup_mlock                        default_jack_error_callback
default_jack_info_callback           jack_attach_port_segment
jack_attach_shm                      jack_call_sync_client
jack_call_timebase_master            jack_cleanup_shm
jack_client_alloc                    jack_client_alloc_internal
jack_client_deliver_request          jack_client_fix_port_buffers
jack_client_handle_latency_callback  jack_client_handle_port_connection
jack_client_handle_session_callback  jack_client_open_aux
jack_clock_source_name               jack_default_server_name
jack_destroy_shm                     jack_event_type_name
jack_generate_unique_id              jack_get_all_descriptions
jack_get_description                 jack_get_free_shm_info
jack_get_mhz                         jack_get_microseconds_from_cycles
jack_get_microseconds_from_system    jack_get_port_functions
jack_get_process_done_fd             jack_hpet_init
jack_init_time                       jack_initialize_shm
jack_internal_client_load_aux        jack_messagebuffer_add
jack_messagebuffer_exit              jack_messagebuffer_init
jack_messagebuffer_thread_init       jack_midi_internal_event_size
jack_pool_alloc                      jack_pool_release
jack_port_by_id_int                  jack_port_by_name_int
jack_port_name_equals                jack_port_new

exported internal functions also in other non-stripped libraries)
