alexander,
Below is the data that you requested. My current thinking, following
Raine's lead, is that it is not qjackctl that is
not exiting gracefully but pulseaudio, which leaves too much memory
tied up in /dev/shm for qjackctl to come up
twice in a row on my machine (1GB of RAM). Once I run "sudo rm
/dev/shm/pulse*" qjackctl cycles at least 3 times
(all I've tried). The problem may still lie with qjackctl, since I am
using the "artsshell -q terminate" in qjackctl>Setup>
Options>Execute script on Startup. While that seems to stop
pulseaudio, it does not release the memory that
pulseaudio tied up in /dev/shm.
If someone has superior insight, please let me know.

Hmm, well, it doesn't seem to be the classic problem that some app is
hugging your soundcard.. but I wonder, what are all those processes
doing with libsndfile? then again I sit on archlinux, either way it
shouldn't be a problem as far as I know.. There is also something called
"pulseaudi" in there too, typo?
Btw, Can't you just remove pulseaudio altogether? or is it trapped in
some kind of nasty dependency hell?
