This happens to me also but more infrequently than you. I think it may
be caused by how the specific application uses the jack interface and
not necessarily jack it's self. You should first start be contacting the
apps authors.
Xmms instances remain in memory and must be killed.
Jackrack exists OK but its connection points remain
Aviplay (jacklaunched) seems OK
Realplay10 (Helix), connections persist .....
How are you getting Helix player to connect to jack?
How might on fix all this up. Is there a nicer way to
restart jackd than to
find the PID, kill it and restart qjackctl?
That's pretty much how every single process is dealt with in the unix
world. I believe qjackctl automates this with the "stop" button.
