 This is (explainable) lack of support from gstreamer-properties.

 I've just tried myself to setup jack (I wasn't a jackd users until a
 couple of minutes ago), and couldn't bring gstreamer's jacksink to work
 neither, and found very little documentation to do so.

 I've talked with upstream, and they said the jacksink plugin is
 unmaintained because no upstream developer is using jackd, hence I'm
 going to follow upstream's advice to deactivate it in Debian.
