Starting a new jack client in itself won't
produce xruns. Also,
cleanly shutting down a jack client will not in itself produce xruns
[iirc]. But it seems that many, if not most, jack apps, get some
part of the RT operation stuff not right. Especially start up and
shutdown.
Actually, that's not entirely correct. I've been talking to Paul about
this. The xruns created by exiting clients is due to jackd having to
rework it's internals. When doing this reordering, jackd has to lock
the data it's modifying and sometimes (very often) there will be an
xrun because the audio thread is waiting for the lock to be released.
